Where to begin

In a dispute, information, emotions and expectations can become intertwined. A simple timeline helps separate events from interpretations.

What to consider

For each event, note the date, people involved and documents that relate to it. Separately list the questions and information you still need.

The next step

This initial picture does not replace a legal review, but it can make the first conversation more organised and help clarify the scope of the matter.

This note offers general information. A legal assessment of any matter depends on its particular circumstances and documents.

Have another question?

Describe it in your own words. You do not need to know its legal name to begin.
