We will do everything <br />within our power to justify that trust. We appreciate the opportunity to represent the City of San <br />Marcos. We find it would be helpful for us to identify the roles and responsibilities of both our <br />law firm and the City. <br />Scope of Engagement <br />As your counsel we will provide the legal services requested in connection with this <br />Engagement, including legal advice and representation of the City with regard to the defense of <br />the above described lawsuit, accelerated appeal and associated matters. At the City's sole <br />discretion, this engagement may also be extended to include counterclaims, and third -party claims <br />arising out of or related to the same issues as the above described lawsuit. <br />Work Assignments <br />I will be the City's primary contact for all aspects of the firm's representation of the City <br />with respect to the Engagement. From time to time, parts of the City's work may be assigned to <br />other personnel within the firm, and other firm lawyers may be used where specialized help is <br />needed. It is our practice to assign tasks among lawyers, legal assistants, paralegals, law clerks <br />and document retention clerks in such a way as to produce the quality work at a reasonable expense <br />to the City. However, I will be responsible to the City for the entire assignment and will be <br />available to discuss the engagement work with you. <br />
