Question2-4
Referred paper: LSA or Client Agreement Simulated case Study
Lawyer has received a telephone call from Max who seeks engagement in
replying to an NOICC and to foreshadow review of a decision to cancel Max’s
457 visa due to allegation of non compliance with a condition crucial to receive
visa permits
Probable provisions of the ‘Code of Conduct’
In this case, the LSA license between the attorney and the client would depend on the
primary focus of the attorney and the client, the fees structure to be provided to then
advocate for the case. It would also depend upon how viable the case would be for the
client. Based on these, the advocate/attorney/firm would agree to enter into agreement
with the client (Keyzer and Fisher 2017).
Application of fee agreement to highlight the scope of work
The scope of work would involve developing an agreement where it would
investigated that a sum of certain dollars have been paid as an non refundable fee. In
return, a bill of statement will have to be provided to the client immediately
highlighting the amount paid now, and amount to be paid every month, or at other
intervals while the case will go. By understanding the gravity of the case, a certain
sum will also be taken against attorney services , witness copies, court reporter bills,
telecopy charge and other expenses. The client should also be stated clearly that if he
fails to pay the charges in time. A surplus interest will also be liable to be paid by
him(Crock and Dale 2019).
Probable actions to validate the ‘Code of Conduct’
In this case, the scope of work would be to review the case of Max and understand
under what concern his visa stands unviable. Based on this, the fees structure nay be
decided. It might be hourly fees, flat fee or contingency fee. If the overall matter
seems to be a favourable suit for the lawyer, then he can take up the case. For
example, the agreement can be based in 40% payment within 30 days prior to the trial
or throughout the trial(Lyons and Stark 2017).
Probable risks to lawyer’s professional indemnity insurance
and probable steps to mitigate the risks.
