How to Choose and Work with Lawyers and Clients: A Bahamian and Caribbean Perspective
Apart from the substance of a transaction or dispute, what factors should inform the decision to choose or work with a particular lawyer or client? This article, born of a series of conferences on the subject, deals with conflicts of interest, lawyer-client communication, attorney-client privilege, retainers, due diligence, engagement letters and whether lawyers can engage in alternative business structures other than partnerships. These are all pressing topics relating to law practice as we approach the end of the first quarter of the 21st century.
