A metropolitan search can cross several suburbs and transport routes. Compare the actual office address, not just the region name, and ask whether follow-up meetings can be remote. If you need an interpreter, step-free access or a support person, discuss those arrangements before making the appointment.
Ask what the initial consultation includes: listening to the background, reviewing documents, written advice or taking action. Request an estimate that separates the lawyer’s work from searches, applications, expert reports and other external costs. A free consultation or a fixed fee may cover a limited step rather than the complete matter.
Agree who will handle the file, how you will receive updates and when you must approve additional work. If another practitioner, barrister or adviser may be needed, ask who will arrange that work and how their charges will be explained.
