Through the consultation request form on the site. The first step only asks for your name and preferred contact method — no case details — and the firm follows up after an initial conflict check.

Yes. A conflict-of-interest check is a mandatory step in every consultation request's lifecycle, before any substantive contact about the matter itself.
