Legal Sub-contract - Legal Work - Government Entity - Scope - Fixed Fee - Format - Dissatisfaction - Evidence
This case involved subcontracted legal work for a government entity. The law firm and their client had agreed scope in an email which included details on format and revisions. A key issue was whether this was a fixed fee agreement or additional fees were expected as the work went beyond the original scope and format. It was claimed the government client was dissatisfied but no evidence of that was given.
