Client briefs

Briefing notes
and client briefs.

The client should understand what changed, what it means for their matter and what happens next. The source references and unanswered questions belong with the answer.

The deliverable

What the brief answers

  • What changed?
  • What does it mean for this client?
  • What still needs confirmation?
  • Who takes the next step, and when?

The service

Agreed sources.
Clear delivery.

We agree the records, the boundaries and what you will receive before the work begins.

Keep different accounts separate

Published decisions, meeting notes and correspondence can describe the same situation differently. We keep the records and their versions, then identify what still needs confirmation.

An approval belongs to a version.

A review belongs to the record it examined. When a source, a follow-up or the brief changes, the earlier review stays with the earlier version. The desk marks a brief as outdated when its working context changes.

Write and review the brief

Each brief includes the client summary, observed changes, open questions, next step and source references. Its review is tied to the matter version. Later changes make that brief visibly outdated.
