On the оil аnd gаs leаse fоrm, in the cоnsideration clause, the lessee usually:
Attоrney is retаined by а new client, а small business, tо handle a cоntract dispute. The retainer agreement provides that Attorney will bill for his services at a rate of $400 per hour. During discovery, the opposing party fails to produce several key documents. Attorney determines that a Motion to Compel is necessary. Attorney recently handled a very similar case for a different client, an engagement where he had spent eight hours researching and drafting a comprehensive and successful Motion to Compel. For the new client, Attorney uses the motion from the previous case as a template. He spends two hours skillfully adapting the motion to the specific facts of the new client's case. In fairness to the prior client and with the value provided to the new client in mind, Attorney bills the new client for eight hours of work. He reasons that the client is receiving the value of an eight-hour, well-researched motion, and that it would have taken any reasonable lawyer at least that long to produce a brief of similar quality from scratch. Has Attorney's conduct subjected him to discipline?
