Answer in brief

A strong first meeting should establish the legal decision, relevant facts, proposed approach and likely deliverables. Bring a concise brief and ask for concrete answers.[\[1\]](https://bestweb3lawfirmdubai.com/questions-to-ask/#ref-firm)[\[2\]](https://bestweb3lawfirmdubai.com/questions-to-ask/#ref-victoria)

## Understanding the question

Explain the product in operational terms and identify the deadline that matters. Ask the adviser to describe the questions it would resolve first, the documents it needs and the specialists it may involve. Keep a record of assumptions so that different proposals can be compared fairly.[\[1\]](https://bestweb3lawfirmdubai.com/questions-to-ask/#ref-firm)[\[2\]](https://bestweb3lawfirmdubai.com/questions-to-ask/#ref-victoria)

## Build the working record

| Consideration | What to establish |
| --- | --- |
| Opening question | What facts could change your recommended approach? |
| Work plan | Which decision must be made before drafting begins? |
| Delivery | Who will do the work and what will we receive? |

## Put it into practice

Use the same scenario with each candidate rather than changing the brief after every meeting. Differences in the answers then become easier to interpret.

**Useful output**: A meeting record with open questions, owners and agreed next steps.
