File Transfer on Termination of Retainer
Friday, June 25, 2010 - 12:00pm (CST)
Online (Law Society of Saskatchewan)
Attend this webinar to hear Law Society staff discuss common issue arising from file transfers on the termination of a retainer. In particular:
- What documents on the file is the former client entitled to? Who owns what documents? Which documents belong to the client? Which documents belong to the lawyer?
- What fees can the lawyer charge to transfer the file? Can the lawyer charge for photocopies? Can the lawyer charge for the time spent preparing the file for transfer?
- If there are unpaid fees, does the lawyer have the right to assert a solicitor’s lien over the file?
