When dealing with lawyers in London, England, both the client and the lawyer have a responsibility to help each other. The lawyer is expected to provide support for the case while remaining faithful to their obligation to the law. It is important for the lawyer to keep the client informed about settlement offers, as well as about the possible outcome of the case or viable lines of action. On the other hand, clients should support the lawyer's approach, especially when they have agreed on it beforehand. It is also essential for clients to disclose all information relevant to the case.
