Limited scope retainers (aka "unbundling") are growing in popularity with clients as they look for ways to access legal services while reducing their costs.

Does that sound appealing or a little scary? Either way you are correct! These limited scope retainers are an opportunity to improve the public's access to justice and to increase your client base. However, there are risk management and ethical issues to consider.
