Engagement protocol
Four steps from first contact to mandate.
We work only with introduced or written-in principals. The protocol below protects both sides and is non-negotiable.
- 01
Written introduction
A short email outlining the principal, the question and the time horizon. No attachments at this stage.
- 02
Scoping conversation
A confidential exchange — by encrypted channel where appropriate — to test fit and rule out conflicts.
- 03
Mutual NDA
Signed before any sensitive material is exchanged. Sentinel provides a template; client counsel may amend.
- 04
Mandate letter
A short, written mandate defining scope, deliverables, fee and confidentiality terms. Work begins on counter-signature.
