Engagement Letters: Satisfying Rules, Setting Expectations 2026

Your engagement letter can do more than set the fee

A well-written engagement letter can, and should, contain information beyond the terms of the fee agreement. Engagement Letters: Satisfying Rules, Setting Expectations explores how to use an engagement letter to set boundaries and expectations for both the lawyer and the client. We cover the communications required under Supreme Court Rule (SCR) 20:1.4, the fee agreement requirements of SCR 20:1.5, and the drafting choices that make the difference between a form and a useful document.
