Developing good habits early in your legal career is the foundation for long-term success. Providing clear cost disclosure documentation and discussing fees with clients in a way that builds trust and manages expectations are fundamental skills as a practicing lawyer. We want to support the development of these important skills in early career lawyers. Our cost support program helps lawyers to: • communicate costs clearly and meet their professional obligations • approach fee conversations with confidence • minimise misunderstandings and complaints • build transparent, trusted client relationships. If you’ve ever questioned whether your cost disclosure documents are up to standard — or felt unsure navigating fee discussions with clients — this program is designed for you. Free. Confidential. Delivered online or in-person.
