I normally used 'Hi [name of the addressee]' if there was implied familiarity from the details of the written exercise or if they were someone in the firm who was not very senior. If they were either a client or a partner/counsel and familiarity was not implied, I simply used 'Dear [name of the addressee]'. I never included a Mr/Mrs/Ms or sir/madam as I did not want to make any assumptions about gender or marital status. From my vacation scheme experiences, the emails I have seen associates send looked much the same in terms of address form, so I am quite sure this is an ok approach to follow.Hi guys, please what’s the best way to address a partner , an associate and a client when writing an email or a letter to them in a written exercise? So for instance would you say “Hi …..” or “Dear ….” , for a client, would you say Mr or Mrs / Hi… followed by their names / Sir or madam?
