First should be something like, "Are you a lawyer, and are you available to provide me with legal advice on a securities industry matter?" If they say yes, then the attorney-client relationship is established. Then, when you tell them who is involved, they would immediately run a conflict-of-interest check to confirm they can still advise you, or else tell you to seek another lawyer due to conflicts in their firm. | |
