Corporations carefully examine their bottom line. however.The Prudent Course Ethical and Practical Considerations in Client Selection A Like many other segments of society. the firm should not allow the amount of revenue it receives from the client to cloud its judgment. On the contrary. Another option is to become less discriminating when accepting clients. reacts precipitously when its client base and/or income begin to decrease dramatically. A problem arises. law firms keenly feel the effects of an economic downturn. Potentially. For example. a firm needs to remain vigilant and adhere to its established client selection process.

If a firm has to assign lawyers to represent it in charges of malpractice. increase stress and decrease morale within the firm. when a firm. without a plan for survival. Law firms with a long-range plan are generally better positioned to weather an economic downturn. it is a most judicious response if a firm is willing to expend the resources – time and money – to become immersed in the area. Such a firm is not likely to appreciate the nuances of the practice area. rather than provide the remuneration the firm envisioned in entering into a relationship with an improperly screened client. and writing abilities – to decide that it is competent to begin litigation practice. But feeling the effects of a weakened economy should not cause a firm to panic and resort to accepting clients indiscriminately. or has to retain outside counsel for that purpose. Seeking to enhance or establish a practice in an area of law that seems impervious to economic swings. its bottom line is being adversely affected. A second reaction to a weakened economy that results in fewer new clients is to keep existing clients when prudence and objectivity counsel withdrawal from a case. the importance of being familiar with how the court systems work. and a substantial amount of time apprising management of evolving issues and discussing how to resolve them. In such circumstances a law firm has several options to increase its profitability. and ultimately have a negative impact on the firm. if ethical or practical concerns dictate that a firm should no longer act for a client. Failure to maintain rigorous standards for client selection can jeopardize an attorney's reputation. In fact.

My legal opinion is therefore that an argument endorsing the modern approach will not be warmly received by the court. For each gap 43 − 48... In this context...Part 5 Questions 43 – 48 Read the following legal opinion concerning an alleged breach of contract..... You have been sued personally based on the allegation that the company was improperly formed. A summary of the facts as you have provided them are as follows. You have requested a legal opinion regarding your legal position in a suit filed against you by Jermain Equipment Co.

In my opinion this argument represents the best possibility for you to avoid personal liability.

This opinion and the statements expressed herein should not be construed in any way as conclusive or indicative of our future opinions and views... in practice... In the case that the Company is deemed a company in fact.. Choose the best sentence from the opposite page to fill each of the gaps.. of course. This is because its purported formation was deficient as the Articles did not comply with the relevant statutes and no certificate of incorporation had been issued at the time of contract....... You are a shareholder in Richardson (the “Company”). pursuant to the laws of this jurisdiction.. its success depends on the evidence presented...

C However. it would operate as an injustice to permit such a contention to be advanced. E If not. increasingly supported by judges and prominent legal scholars. there is an argument. your chances of avoiding liability are greatly diminished. facts and circumstances may come to light which would require us to significantly modify this opinion. the interpretation of the clause of the original agreement relating to rental payments became a matter of dispute. it obviates the need for an in-depth factual analysis of the shareholder’s participation. D In a case of this nature. as it was in this case. B As a result of this action. G However.

It wasn’t just that I was part of a smaller team. Extract One. Now open your question paper and look at Part 1. Look at the Information for Candidates on the front of your question paper. so it made me realise the importance of getting every detail right and still being efficient about it. choose the answer (A. It took me a while to appreciate the fact that without the routine elements. There will now be a pause. For questions 1 – 6. There will be a pause before each part to allow you to look through the questions. There are two questions for each extract. You will hear three different extracts. say. during a banking deal. as you will not be allowed to speak during the test. At the end of every pause you will hear this sound. I think that the firm’s smaller European offices are different from. B or C) which fits best according to what you hear. You must ask any questions now. That experience helps a lot when you get home. Working in the firm’s Milan office was an eye-opener for me as it’s a smaller outfit than back home and there’s less in the way of practical support. it was also that I had to work with other local firms. You should write your answers in the spaces provided on the question paper. but being on the spot meant that I could really grasp how things work out there.ILEC Listening Sample Question Paper Tapescript This is the Cambridge International Legal English Certificate Listening Test. I’d worked with the Italian office before. and other pauses to let you think about your answers. You will hear each extract twice. The six months I spent in Milan were amazing. there’s a need to manage effectively and delegate. I think sometimes as a trainee it can be difficult to see the significance of some of the work you do. There are four parts to the test. You will have five minutes at the end to transfer your answers to the separate answer sheet. 37 . You will hear each part twice. This paper requires you to listen to a selection of recorded material and answer the accompanying questions. Even as a trainee. Sample Paper. Part 1. transactions simply can’t complete successfully. Hong Kong or Singapore – which are much more what I would be used to back home – so it was a good choice for me.
Lawyer: Good morning Robert. apparently the homeowners do have some photographs to submit which may well support their argument. Now you will hear the recording again. That's how they met the requirements necessary to get an order.. that would be really useful. How’s she getting on? M: Claudia? She’s not doing badly actually. Lawyer: Yes. At the hearing. However. Basically. She certainly keeps the paperwork moving – which is more than can be said for her predecessor I must say.. Client: So when do I get any say in the matter? It seems ridiculous that they're complaining about the chemical operations when the local authority has no problems with it. A hearing is scheduled for next week to determine whether cause exists to continue the order or not pending a full trial. Client: I see. I just wanted to update you on where we are concerning your case. Extract Three. yes. What happened was that their lawyers were able to convince a judge that your chemical operations are contrary to your zoning status. I’m already able to leave most routine aspects of cases to her 38 . We've been doing it for six years. I know Robert . They've also got some evidence that chemicals may be leaking onto their land. and with the local authorities on our side. Client: Lawyer: Oh.. Thank you for coming. F: Your new recruit called me about the Thwaite case the other day. what's happened is that some neighbouring homeowners have been granted a Temporary Restraining Order. I wouldn't be overly worried. Extract Two. and they've posted a bond to cover any loss you might incur.Now you will hear the recording again. preventing your company from carrying out any further chemical operations on your property. you'll need to testify and provide the technical background.
has the firm acted on your behalf in any other matter? Anna: Not exactly. He hadn’t quite realised that some of the work he was undertaking. He took what I said very well and probably just needs to attend a session on research techniques. I got quite a generous severance package 39 .without feeling I need to look over her shoulder every two minutes to make sure she’s coping OK. I have to ask you. though appropriate enough in itself. Good morning. but it wasn’t a commercial matter – his siblings were contesting the contents of their parents’ will – so it’s of no relevance to what we’re dealing with now. Anna Krupa. That is the end of Part 1. Lawyer: Anna: Lawyer: Good morning. You now have 45 seconds to look at Part 2. Then I was head-hunted by a larger company. who is planning to set up her own business. That was my last job. I got work with an innovative software company and was involved in a highly successful project.I had to explain the cost specifics. My only reservation would be that I feel she's got a little too involved in this Thwaite case. Pedro? F: Pedro's doing fine too – just a few rough edges. I’ll have to find a way of broaching the issue with her. Pleased to meet you. that she’s not quite embraced the firm’s team approach completely. You will hear the recording twice. You will hear part of a consultation between a lawyer and a new client. For questions 7 – 11. I’m Malcolm Travis. First of all. But he was happy with the firm. Lawyer: Anna: And I understand you’re interested in setting up your own business? That’s right. It’s time to capitalize on my experience and training. choose the best answer A. I got a bit worried about his interpretation of one client’s needs though. Part 2. B or C. where I stayed for 12 years. soon after graduating. He works in the insurance sector. What about your chap. you know. so that’s why I’m here. time hungry in ways that weren’t moving things forward . something on targeting the answerable questions. My husband was a client of your firm some years ago. was rather. Anna Krupa. I’ve been lucky.
if memory serves me correctly.from them. Let’s talk about the business plan first. Could you advise me on such things? Lawyer: Indeed we could. It was quite amicable. That’s when I decided that I’d rather work for myself – so I quit. I’ve taken time out to develop some research projects of my own. Now you will hear the recording again. confidentiality. Lawyer: And do you have a copy of the employment agreement? The reason I ask is because often they contain a restrictive covenant. even staff eventually. But I want to keep my overheads down. You know. But although it was a combination of factors. I’ve still got the agreement somewhere – would you take a look at it for me to make certain? Lawyer: Anna: Absolutely. You know. I’ve come up with what is basically a new kind of software package – an invention if you like. 40 . Lawyer: Anna: Why did you leave them. but I need to be thinking about a business plan before I approach the bank for a loan to cover the start-up costs. may I ask? Well I had some minor differences with my line manager. it was only operative for one year after leaving and that’s passed now – but I’ll check it out. I would need to. but I don’t think it said anything about not competing with them in a more general sense – you know geographical location. the main trigger was getting passed over for a promotion. I’ve already applied for a patent. which I’ve put to good use. Anna: I do remember that there was something that prevented me from taking their customers. but I’m still a little bitter about not getting the credit I felt I deserved. That is the end of Part 2. so I’m looking for ways of doing that which allow me to maximize any investment I make. So what are your priorities at the moment? Well. so that’s all in hand. little things like I wanted to upgrade the medical insurance plan that was part of the salary package. think about business premises. I’ll have to conduct live trials. free from the pressure of having to look for another post. and they refused to pay. In any case. those sorts of things.
complete the sentences. light refreshments and evening receptions are also included in the fee. all conference materials. even for non-IBA members who fall into certain categories. The topics of the six sessions are as follows: On the first day. sessions will focus on tax incentives in oil and mining activities and in the financial services sector. To get these reductions. You now have one minute to look at Part 3. and you’ll be able to get on to the IBA website in the seven days prior to the conference. Each speaker needs to present a particular incentive or disincentive in a local 41 .Part 3. Otherwise fees cover attendance at all working sessions. These will be in English and English-Spanish interpreting will be provided. If you wish to attend the conference dinner. During the conference itself. After that. for example lawyers under thirty. including any speakers’ papers submitted before the 11th of February. so there’s just time to give you some information about an upcoming conference on the topic of tax incentives in Latin America. You hear an announcement at a seminar about a future conference on the subject of taxation law in South America. economists and corporate lawyers dealing with international tax issues in Latin America. Florida on the 17th and 18th of March and is being presented by the taxation section of the International Bar Association. lunches. The best speaker amongst them will be presented with an award at the Closing Reception. then the following day’s programme might hold more interest for you. That’s when the emphasis will be on tax incentives in utilities. If none of those topics appeals. conference fees can be as little as $485. The conference should appeal to accountants. you need first of all to be under forty years of age and be ready to do a fifteenminute presentation. fees increase to $845 for non-members and $745 for IBA members. A key feature of this conference is that it will be run partly as a competition for selected young lawyers who will each present papers on a particular incentive or disincentive in a Latin American jurisdiction. The two-day conference will be held in Miami. you must register before the 18th of February. fulltime academics and judges. You will also receive. We’ve got a few minutes before our next session. If you register now. in advance. You will hear the recording twice. in ecotourism and in the real estate sector. Delegates will have the opportunity to update their legal knowledge and meet leading international tax lawyers and industry experts. however. If you’d like to take part. For questions 12 – 20. there is an additional charge of $120.
I’d applied to various law firms. of course. For questions 21 – 25. I realised not everything was quite as flexible and friendly as the recruitment staff had suggested. The conference organisers would like to stress. Look at Task One. You couldn’t pick and choose. While you listen you must complete both tasks. that they are unable to issue a letter in support of any application until they have received a completed registration form and the full fees. The effectiveness of local tax arrangements for attracting foreign investment should also be addressed. they dispensed with all that. Haddiscoe stood out as different. You now have 40 seconds to look at Part 4.Latin American jurisdiction together with the reasons for implementing it. but brilliant training . Once I’d settled in. For questions 26 – 30. You will hear the recording twice. though.giving me a future as a specialist in those areas too.and you live outside the USA. getting taken on as assistant to a partner on a multi42 . I got the chance to work with people who really know their stuff in fairly specialist areas of the law. Each presentation will be followed by a panel discussion which further investigates the issues raised. That is the end of Part 3. Now look at Task Two. just invited me in for a fairly laid-back interview. choose from the list A – F what each speaker regards as the most valuable experience they have gained whilst with the firm. Speaker 1. Part four consists of two tasks.whether as a speaker or a delegate . if you’d like more information about the …. but I was lucky. [fade] Now you will hear the recording again. and could tell from the interview that at Haddiscoe I’d be able to branch out into all sorts of areas that interested me for the future – particularly the regulation of financial markets – I couldn’t have got that anywhere else so early on in my career. and been put off by the very traditional image you get from all the paperwork they send you. But never mind. You will hear five short extracts in which various employees of a law firm called Haddiscoe are talking about working for the company. They could be difficult at times. and it was a steep learning curve for me. I’d trained with another firm where working conditions were excellent. Speaker 2. So. you may need to think about a Visa. if you’re hoping to attend the conference . which really suited me. but I was fairly ambitious. Finally. Now look at the fourth and last part of the test. choose from the list A – F the thing that impressed each speaker about the firm initially.
but it was only at the interview that I sensed how intent they were on expansion. Devoting time to the induction course means less contact with clients. I got to work directly with the financiers. Like when the partner takes me along to meetings and then leaves all the follow-up to me . In actual fact. I reckoned that would mean training opportunities. so I didn’t even apply to any other firms. It was only one aspect of the project. the most beneficial thing for me personally was working as part of a team on complex international projects where we’d liaise closely with various overseas offices. but the rewards far outweigh any drawbacks. It wouldn’t have been my choice because nothing in my previous training had prepared me for that. drafting a whole document from scratch. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety and the scale of the litigation projects I got involved in. You have one more minute left. 43 . Friends working at Haddiscoe seemed quite enthusiastic. I’ll remind you when there is one minute left. There will now be a five minute pause to allow you to transfer your answers to the separate answer sheet. That is the end of Part 4. Speaker 3. but I found myself in sympathy with their general approach and so applied. But the real plus for me is the chance I get to pass my knowledge and experience on to newer recruits. interesting work with high-profile clients. so I got hold of a copy of the firm’s mission statement. but it has meant that I’m trusted to do more things on my own. It wouldn’t have been my choice. Be sure to follow the numbering of all the questions. the option of working at home sometimes – it was all refreshingly forward-looking. preparing for the signing. Some colleagues recruited more recently don’t really get that. It might not be the best way to choose an employer. but that direct contact gave me real insights into that branch of the law. What actually attracted me was the firm’s willingness to experiment with different ways of working. Now you will hear the recording again. which might mean less higher-level work in the future. I’d read a very positive article about Haddiscoe in the press.million-dollar financing deal. etc. That is the end of the test. staggered hours. Once there. At first. but colleagues aren’t everything. The question papers and answer sheets will then be collected by your supervisor. etc. though I have to be flexible. but I did eventually find I had lots in common with my colleagues. but I gradually acquired the necessary expertise.drafting the documents. Speaker 4. so that you’re sure to finish in time. even for more junior staff. I’ve mostly been involved with fairly routine work with little opportunity to branch out. having trained in a more traditional firm. I wasn’t sure that I fitted Haddiscoe’s image. Speaker 5.
