Prompt: Draft Client Engagement Letter
Tool:ChatGPT or Claude (free)
Difficulty:Beginner
The Prompt
Copy and paste this
Draft a client engagement letter for a [practice area, e.g., estate planning] matter. Include: scope of representation, fee arrangement ([hourly at $X/retainer of $X]), billing frequency, client responsibilities, conflict waiver (if applicable), and termination clause. Formal legal letter format.
Why It Works
Engagement letters follow a predictable structure. AI drafts the framework — the attorney reviews and customizes the fee and scope language before signing.
Tips
- Always have the attorney review before sending — engagement terms are legally binding
- Add the specific client name and matter description after generating
- Ask for "contingency fee version" or "flat fee version" to match the fee arrangement
