Careful Study: The key to successfully advising clients in relation to any transaction is analysis. This requires a lawyer to fully and carefully study, evaluate and understand the contracts and attachments comprising the total package of documentation memorializing the overall agreements and intent of the parties. Unfortunately, in today's legal climate the billable hour seems sadly to take precedence over the quality of work. Some lawyers fail to thoroughly study and think through the implications and consequences of a deal and devote adequate thought to possible occurrences and outcomes. |
Some lawyers blindly toss in pages of "standard form" language, then bill their clients as if by the pound of paper, and as if the forms had been written from scratch just for that client. We shun that approach, opting instead for actual mental work on your behalf. While we do consult checklists for the value of being thorough, we disdain the notion of blindly substituting huge forms for actual legal analysis and thought.
Long-Range Savings: It is undeniably true that lawyers who carefully consider and analyze your matters and give genuine, applicable advice that is carefully crafted to your specific needs will save the client money in the long run.
