Ways to Work With Us
Some matters do not fit a fixed fee or a retainer. When the work is open-ended, the scope will evolve, or the path depends on how a negotiation or transaction unfolds, we act on an hourly basis: experienced corporate and transactional counsel, billed for the time the matter genuinely requires.
Let’s TalkWalk us through the matter, the parties and where things stand, and we will give you an honest read on what the work is likely to involve.
We set out our hourly rate, an estimate where the scope allows one, and how we will keep you updated on time and cost as the matter develops.
You get regular updates as the work progresses, so there are no surprises when the account arrives.
Matters that resist a fixed scope.
Deals whose structure, parties or timeline remain in motion, where the scope cannot be fixed at the outset.
Matters where the course of the work depends on how the other side responds and how the negotiation unfolds.
A corporate, commercial or governance question that calls for judgment exercised over time rather than a single deliverable.
Advisory support on shareholder disputes and contested board situations, working alongside your litigation counsel where a matter proceeds to court.
Hourly suits matters where the scope cannot be defined in advance, or where the work will evolve as a negotiation or transaction develops, and we bill for the time the matter requires. Where the work is discrete, a fixed fee is usually preferable, and where legal questions are constant, a retainer may serve you better.
We set out our hourly rate at the outset of the engagement, so you know it before any work begins.
Where the scope allows, yes. For open-ended matters, we provide our best view of the likely range and refine it as the work develops.
We scope carefully at the outset, keep you informed on time and cost as the matter progresses, and flag anything that would materially change the picture before it does.
Our practice is transactional and advisory. On disputes and contested situations, we advise on strategy and negotiation and work alongside your litigation counsel where a matter proceeds to court.
