How the office approaches your matter
The review follows the document’s creation, changes, approval, circulation and use. It examines technical reports alongside the other evidence and identifies questions requiring specialist input.
Scope of legal services
- Review of original records and versions
- Assessment of signatures, changes and technical findings
- An evidence chronology linking records to alleged conduct
- Defence submissions or claims for the affected party
What to include in your initial enquiry
The document type, your role, whether a technical report exists and the current stage. Start with a concise summary; arrangements for confidential documents can be agreed with the office.
Scope, deliverables and fees
The proposal identifies the client, the stage covered, the work to be delivered, fees and the payment schedule. Further stages or specialist work are agreed separately where needed.
Can you review a handwriting or document examination report?
The legal review examines the report’s assumptions, findings and relationship to the rest of the file. Any further technical examination is scoped with the appropriate specialist.
Does a review guarantee a particular outcome?
No. Advice and representation depend on the facts, evidence and procedural position. Acceptance of an engagement is subject to file review and conflict checks.
