ENGAGING THE FIRM

There is no employee-employer relationship formed between AB Law and their Clients. Therefore, it must be understood that AB Law clients have no authority to control or to exercise the same over the actions of the Law Firm relative to the matter for which they were engaged.

AB Law has the primary duty to strategize and decide on the legal paths by which its clients’ concerns are to be pursued. Clients are therefore expected to disclose all relevant information that may have material impact to the present matter of engagement.

An attorney-client relationship is a fiduciary relationship grounded on trust and confidence between the parties. Once an attorney-client relationship is formed, it subsists the specific engagement for which the attorney – which includes the entire law office – was engaged. Therefore, the confidences between the parties remain and all information pertaining to the client and the latter’s engagement remains privileged and cannot be disclosed without consent.
