How we do it

Fixed Fee

For commercial matters with a clearly defined scope, we offer transparent fixed fee pricing so you know exactly what to expect before work begins. In our experience, more matters than you might expect can be handled on a fixed fee basis, including most contract work.

Contract drafting and review
Privacy policy and collection statement preparation
Employment agreement drafting
Template contracts for repeated use

Not sure if your matter qualifies? Get in touch and we will let you know.

Time Based

For matters without a fixed scope, we work on an hourly basis and provide cost estimates upfront so you have a clear picture of likely fees before work begins. This is how much of our commercial work is structured, and we keep you informed as things progress. We believe in straightforward, transparent billing at every step.
