Thee are certain business issues we looked into and gave opinion to our client. Since they were our first client we entered into an exclusive retainership arrangement with them wherein we shall not provide our opinion on those certain points especially at forums and public meetings. These types of arrangements are called exclusive arrangements to give an sense of loyalty and trust to the client by law firms, so that they realize that the cost for opinions are not wasted and it is something I on my own behest agreed upon. However, the exclusivity will not be applicable in certain cases and advising on forum is not one of the cases. Hope it answers your doubt
Thanks for explaining that.
Because this was just getting really confusing.
I guess we know which lawyer to go for when we want legal advice as you have kept your part of the bargain.
Good job !!
