Understanding the question
Prepare the same brief for each candidate. Compare the proposed scope, assumptions, exclusions and deliverables before comparing headline fees. Ask the adviser to explain where another specialist is needed. A useful proposal makes both responsibility and uncertainty visible.[1][2]
Build the working record
| Consideration | What to establish |
|---|---|
| Fit | Match the legal work to your product and stage. |
| People | Identify the lead and the delivery team. |
| Output | Specify the documents and decisions the engagement should produce. |
Put it into practice
