We begin with the commercial decision, the legal risk and the outcome required. You should understand the work, the fee basis and what happens next.
We begin with the decision, the legal risk and the outcome you need.
We set out the work, fee basis, stages, timing and key dependencies.
We connect the legal analysis with the agreements and actions required.
We identify what needs signing, approving or doing next, within the agreed scope.
Some matters are predictable enough for a fixed fee. Negotiations, transactions and regulatory issues often need a staged or capped approach.
We identify what is included, what depends on other people and what would require a further scope.
| Approach | When it may suit |
|---|---|
| Fixed | A defined review, agreement or document framework. |
| Capped | Work within agreed assumptions and an agreed fee limit. |
| Staged | Transactions or negotiations with distinct decisions and phases. |
| Agreed capacity | Recurring counsel, with priorities and capacity settled in advance. |
These service frameworks help shape a proposal. The final inclusions and fee basis depend on your matter; they are agreed before you engage us.
For a business asked to sign, renew or amend a material commercial agreement.
A prioritised view of the legal and commercial issues, proposed drafting changes and a clear basis for your next decision.
For an important commercial relationship or a recurring arrangement that needs a tailored agreement.
A signing-ready agreement that reflects the agreed business model, responsibilities and risk allocation.
For owners joining a business, changing their arrangements or agreeing how decisions, funding and exits will work.
An aligned ownership document suite and an implementation plan, with approvals, records and responsibilities identified.
For a SaaS or platform business launching a service or moving into material customer and enterprise arrangements.
A connected commercial document framework, with clear responsibilities for customer terms, delivery, data and implementation.
We identify where tax, accounting, finance, litigation or specialist regulatory input is needed. Where agreed, we coordinate with the client’s advisers and keep responsibilities clear.
Tell us the matter type, the parties involved and any deadline. We first consider fit, conflicts and capacity, then agree the scope and fee basis.
No. Fixed fees are available where scope is sufficiently predictable. Negotiated, transactional and complex matters may be capped or staged.
Timing is agreed when the scope is settled. It depends on the documents, complexity, required inputs and current capacity. Let us know about a deadline at the outset.
We identify the additional work and discuss the scope, fee and timing implications before proceeding with it.
No. We must complete our initial checks and agree an engagement before acting. An enquiry does not mean we have accepted responsibility for a deadline.
Tell us about your business, the issue and any deadline. We can then consider the right scope for your matter.
