Prior to meeting a client or taking instructions, sufficient information should be taken over the telephone or by email to enable a conflict of interest check to be carried out.

The full names of each person and any other name by which they have been known should be obtained—see Practice Note: Conflicts of interest—family law.

It may be helpful for the client to provide in advance of the first meeting a written statement of the parties' relationship, together with details of their financial circumstances
