How we work with clients

Contracts read line by line

Supply agreements, leases, shareholder and employment contracts reviewed clause by clause. You receive a marked-up document, a plain-language summary of the risks and the redlines we would send back.

Corporate advisory on standing instruction

Incorporation and group structure, director duties, shareholder agreements, share transfers and board resolutions — handled by counsel who already knows how your company is put together.

Disputes, settled before they are filed where possible

We open with a position assessment: what the documents actually support, what the realistic outcomes are, and what each route costs you in time. Negotiation, mediation and litigation support follow from that.

Regulatory compliance guidance

Data protection, consumer terms, licensing and sector-specific obligations mapped against how your business really operates, with a remediation list ordered by exposure rather than by alphabet.

Your matter, open in the client app

Documents, signed engagement terms, the current status of each matter and secure messaging with the lawyer handling it — in one place, so you are never asking where a draft got to.

What clients ask us for

Each engagement starts with a written scope, so you know what is covered before any work begins.

Most requested

Contract review

A single agreement read, marked up and explained — before you sign it rather than after.

  • Clause-by-clause markup
  • Plain-language risk summary
  • Suggested redlines to send back
  • Follow-up call on the points that matter

Corporate advisory retainer

Ongoing counsel for a company that needs a lawyer on the end of the line, not a new introduction every quarter.

  • Named counsel who knows your file
  • Board and shareholder documentation
  • Routine contracts and policies
  • Escalation route for urgent questions

Dispute resolution

From the first letter to the hearing door — with an honest view of your position at every stage.

  • Position and evidence assessment
  • Correspondence and demand letters
  • Negotiation and mediation support
  • Litigation preparation and instruction

Regulatory compliance review

A structured look at the rules your operation is actually subject to, and what to fix first.

  • Obligations mapped to your processes
  • Gap list ranked by exposure
  • Policy and notice drafting
  • Staff briefing notes

Scope and fee basis are confirmed in the engagement letter before work starts. Nothing on this page is legal advice or an engagement.

From first enquiry to signed advice

  1. Send the enquiry

    Tell us in a few lines what the matter is. No documents needed yet — a description of the situation is enough for us to see who should take it.

  2. Introductory call and conflict check

    We speak, we run a conflict check, and we tell you plainly whether this is work we should take and what the realistic routes are.

  3. Written scope and engagement letter

    Before anything is drafted or filed, you receive the scope, the fee basis and who is doing the work, in writing, for you to approve.

  4. The work, tracked in the client app

    Drafts, filings, correspondence and status updates land in your matter file, with secure messaging to the lawyer handling it.

  5. Advice you can hand on

    You finish holding a document — a marked-up contract, a written opinion, a compliance action list — that your board, your counterparty or your next adviser can read without us in the room.

Request a consultation

Describe the matter in a few lines. A member of the firm reads every enquiry and replies personally.

  • A lawyer, not a call centre, reads your enquiry
  • We run a conflict check before we respond substantively
  • First reply tells you whether we can act and what the next step is
