How to pitch a retainer to a client?

Here's my advice: Pitch only to existing clients or clients you know well. Never pitch a retainer agreement to someone you've never worked with before. Present the retainer as a way to get front of the line status. Highlight the benefit of predictable budgeting. Include a small discount (maybe)

FAQ

Retainer fees are often determined during confidential consultations between attorneys and clients. Disclosing or discussing these fees without proper authorization from the client would violate their privacy rights and undermine the trust and confidentiality expected in attorney-client relationships.

Once a contract or retainer agreement has been signed between both parties, there's no question that privilege applies. Nonetheless, it generally starts before a contract is officially signed, even if you ultimately do not hire the attorney you had a consultation with.
