Do you take work on an hourly rate?
Only where the work genuinely cannot be defined in advance, and then with a cap agreed before we start. Most of what we do is quoted as a fixed fee.
We already have a lawyer. Why would we move?
Usually you would not, and we will say so. The two reasons people do move are that their firm has grown past them, or that the person who knew their business has left it.
Do you act in litigation?
We do pre-action work and we advise the board through a dispute. When something is going to be tried we bring in counsel who tries cases for a living, and we say so before you are committed to us.
Can you act for both shareholders?
We act for the company. When the company’s interest and a shareholder’s stop being the same thing, we say so and one of you takes separate advice. That conversation is easier before the agreement than during the argument.
This website is general information, not legal advice. Nothing here creates a lawyer–client relationship, and you should not act on it without advice on your own facts. Sending us a message does not make us your lawyers; we will tell you in writing when we are.
Past matters do not predict a result. Anything described on this site is an example of the kind of work we do. Every matter turns on its own facts and no outcome is a guide to yours.
