Before you write Does writing to chambers create a retainer? No. A conference request is a request. Engagement begins only when chambers accepts instructions in writing and a fee is agreed. Until then there is no advocate-client relationship and no privilege.
Will chambers take a matter on a promised result? No. Indian professional rules do not permit an advocate to guarantee an outcome. The chambers will say, on the papers, whether a case is arguable and in which forum — nothing more.
Can I send papers on WhatsApp? Yes — a first note of facts may come on WhatsApp. A brief is still a set of PDFs or certified copies. Photographs of a few pages are not a brief.
