Engage the attorney

The attorney’s fee is $3,500 flat, the same figure you saw on day one, paid directly to the attorney, and none of it comes back to Mula.

Needs the attorney Chain of title opinion, item 12 on your distributor’s schedule

What the attorney is for

The chain of title opinion: proof that Low Tide owns every piece of what ends up on screen, all the way back. It’s item 12 on your distributor’s schedule, and today it’s the one thing in your file still marked Needs the attorney.

The lawyer already had everything.

The engagement

You sign an engagement letter with the attorney, not with Mula. Mula sends the letter and the file at the same time, so there’s nothing left to gather once you sign.

The opinion, worked back from your clock

Due

Five business days from a signed engagement to the opinion, and it can’t start before your copyright report lands. That report is due , so the earliest the opinion comes back is , nine days ahead of your distributor’s clock.

If the attorney needs something you don’t have

The attorney is asking for something your file doesn’t have.

Flagged

Nobody’s. The file was complete when it went out. This piece just wasn’t in it yet.

The signature page of the original writer’s agreement didn’t come through with the rest of the scan, only the initialed pages. Upload it and the opinion keeps moving. Nothing else in the engagement waits on it.
