Writing Assignment #3:

Engagement Letter

Scenario: Maria Gonzales, an aspiring entrepreneur, attended a conference talk you gave on establishing a new business. Impressed by your expertise in these matters, she scheduled a consultation with you regarding her plans to open a restaurant as a sole proprietor. At the end of the consultation she requested your help in setting up her new business as a sole proprietorship.

Instructions: Write a 200-300 word engagement letter that outlines the scope of legal services you will provide to Maria in establishing her business.

Content guidelines: Begin by addressing Maria personally, summarizing the initial discussions from the consultation. Clearly outline the scope of services you will provide, such as advice on licenses, permits, DBA registration, and potential risks. Specify any fees, hourly rates, or other billing details. Conclude with information about client-lawyer confidentiality and the steps to move forward.
