Are you sure the link are spam? What about your own website? What if links have simply exposed it to Google's on-page filters?

first of all don't panic, wait for google to notify you.
Meanwhile you may want to see where are you losing that organic traffic. If the loss is at page level you may want to check if the pages which are losing traffic (and so rankings) are also heavy linked. If that so you may want to disavow those links and try to recover your rankings.
If the site was hit as a whole you should have received a notification by google or will receive that shortly. In that case just go on with a full disavow and start the reconsideration request telling them in details what you did, what you're doing to recover in details, and apologize for all your bad guy actions taken
-
Have you got any email notifying that you are penalized by Google.Link penalty or anything like it.
if you are sure about low quality links surely use Google Disavow tool to get rid of them.

Inherited site with high Spam Score backlinks
When building backlinks myself I have been conscious to avoid going over the 30 spam score as recommended on Moz somewhere. But one of the sites I have recently started working on: https://www.osborneplanning.uk/
Link Building | | Donsimong
has a number of very high spam score backlinks, 5 above 50. Some are follow some nofollow.
I am wondering if its a good idea to disavow them, or should I just leave them as they are, I have read some suggestions that Google will just ignore the majority of spammy backlinks, and its better just to keep them, I dont want to start deleting links if they don't cause any problems.0 -

Creating Backlinks On Behalf of Client
I'm on my first SEO project with a law firm. I'm at the stage where I am doing competitive backlink research on other law firms that my client gave me. I saw a blog site called typepad. It has a high domain authority so I was going to recommend to my client that they set up an account and blog away! Since it's a law firm, I am not qualified to start blogging on behalf of my client and I know they are extremely busy so now I have to "ride" my client to get busy and start creating content. I feel like I want to do more for them on the blog side to keep things going but not having a law background, probably not doable. Question: Do most SEO's do the blogging for their clients, farm it out or keep pushing their clients to do it? I also want them to sign up with articlebase but the same thing is going to happen. I have to push them to write articles. I guess this is my job? -Bob
