Probably a matter of personal preference in most cases

Sport coat/slacks in today's business environment imo.

Probably depends on your client. I can usually get away with sport coats and slacks, but once every 1-2 weeks I'll have an important enough meeting that necessitates a suit

I've tried asking them to do more on their own, but when I do, they fail spectacularly.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
