Hunter – My understanding is the Klewin Construction will be our official Client for the BIA matter. If that is the case, I need the following information to complete our internal work on their engagement agreement and such (and I’m happy to reach out to them about this if that is easier for you – if so, just shoot me the best person to reach out to):

1.       Name and contact information (address, email, phone) for the individual at Klewin to whom the engagement agreement should be addressed.

2.       Same info for the individual at Klewin who should be the billing contact (often times it’s the same person as above)

3.       The names of any affiliated companies to Klewin (parents, subs)

Thanks, Hunter. So I think our ordinary arrangement for a matter like this would be an up-front engagement fee along the lines you’ve described below, plus billing our hourly rates. Is that what you had in mind? Or were you thinking more like a $100k flat fee for all of the work?

Let’s also discuss the Casino matter. I assume they are ok paying our standard rates? We’d also need to do an engagement fee with them.

Ok- I think Burisma is prepared for an engagement fee in the 100K range as their initial needs would most likely be limited to Crisis/ Gov't team.

I would think both. I’m not sure what the standard is. But we’ll need to settle on an amount for the engagement letter (we specify the engagement fee and billing structure in each letter).

I can also reach out to Brille and see if he has guidance.

Ok – will circle back on this. Hunter – we should probably discuss engagement fee with Chris Boies.

You feel confident they can pay our legal fees? I assume that the development company is helping, but just want to double check.
