Application Process
We will work with clients that are a good match for our program and fit our other selection criteria. Because Susman Godfrey’s MOBUS capacity is limited, we are unable to provide assistance to all potential clients that submit an application. We cannot guarantee that we will accept you as a client or provide any legal assistance on any of the matters you describe in the application.

Given this fact, please do not include any information in your application that you consider to be confidential.
