Konditionen / Retainer Terms:
Bagg, Roske & Associates, LLP
(“we”, “us”, or the "Firm") will be pleased to provide legal services to
you, on the basis of the arrangement set forth herein.
We will use our best efforts, to provide the services to you in a
professional and timely manner.
Except as otherwise set forth herein, you agree to pay us for our
professional services at our usual and customary rates as in effect from
time to time. At your request, we will keep you regularly apprised of
the amount of fees and expenses incurred in this matter. In connection
with the matters set forth in the first paragraph of this letter, we may
ask you for a retainer, payable prior to commencement of our work.
In order to keep our legal fees at the competitive level where they
presently are, we attempt to minimize the Firm’s administrative burden
and invoice for all services rendered in electronic format. While we
normally send invoices monthly, we will extend the billing terms at our
discretion if there was relatively little activity over a longer period.
All invoices must be checked immediately and objections or questions be
raised within one week upon receipt. Thereafter, the invoice is deemed
accepted and is to be paid in full. within two weeks.
Expenses (such as travel expenses, telecommunications, mail, courier
services, copying, third party services), and disbursements incurred by
us on your behalf are not included in our fees for legal services.
Expenses will be billed separately. We will endeavor to advise you in
advance and receive your approval prior to incurring any significant
expense. However, you agree to permit us to exercise our professional
judgment in determining whether or not to incur expenses for any
resources we believe are reasonably necessary for the undertaking of our
legal services.
Please note that any retainer is not necessarily identical with the
amount that may be owed us for professional services rendered or
expenses incurred. Such amount may be higher than the amount of such
retainer. Should our engagement terminate for any reason, any balance
remaining on any retainer will be applied against the final invoice sent
to you and any balance will be returned to you.
To enable us to provide you with efficient and professional services
concordant with applicable legal and ethical standards, you agree to be
reasonably available to confer with us, to provide us with all documents
and information and disclose all relevant facts and circumstances. We
will endeavor to keep you adequately apprised of developments with
respect to the matters for which we have been retained, including
whether any of our present or future clients have disputes or other
dealings with you or parties related to you.
You have the right to terminate our engagement at any time by giving us
written notice of termination. We also have the right, subject to our
responsibilities under applicable ethical rules, to terminate our
engagement by giving you written notice if you fail to pay our bills
when due or if we determine that continuing to represent you would
conflict with applicable rules governing the conduct of lawyers.
Subject to applicable law and professional rules governing our conduct,
we agree that any dispute arising out of or in connection with the fees
payable under this agreement shall be submitted to the fee dispute
committee operated jointly by the Association of the Bar of the City of
New York, the New York County Lawyers' Association and the Bronx County
Bar Association. Any and all other matters, including without limitation
the enforcement of undisputed fees, may be brought by either party in
any court of competent jurisdiction.
This agreement is governed by and shall be construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York applicable without regard to its
conflict of law provisions.
If the foregoing is acceptable to you, please sign these retainer terms
and return a copy of this letter to the Firm, or – alternatively – send
us your consent by Email.
Very truly yours,
Bagg, Roske &
Associates LLP
