Memo of advise

Description

You act for a client who recently had their first interview with a colleague at your law practice.

You receive the client’s file [PDF] containing the file note of that interview.

You are required to research the issues raised in the file note and the procedures which apply in the client’s case. Then, in a Word document, write a memo of advice (in plain language) which will prepare you for the next meeting with the client. The memo should be no more than 1,100 words and cover:

key legal and non-legal issues

further information you require

documents which the client needs to give to you

documents which you need to give to the client

dispute resolution procedures which apply under the legislation and court rules, and

steps which should be taken next.
