The Initial Consultation
The initial consultation generally lasts about 30 minutes. However, if you require more time, we may charge a consultation fee.When you first reach out to us, our experienced lawyers will take the time to understand your legal matter through a phone call, online meeting, or in-person discussion. The initial consultation is typically complimentary, allowing us to gain insight into your situation and determine if our services align with your needs.

While this session is meant for us to learn about your case, please note that we do not provide specific legal advice or strategies at this stage, as this can only be done once we are formally engaged. The first meeting generally lasts approximately 30 minutes, if additional time is needed, a consultation fee may apply.

FAQs & Information

Our experienced commercial lawyers understand that certain legal matters require urgent attention. Whether it is a time-sensitive deal or an immediate court filing, our experienced commercial lawyers are committed to accommodate your needs and prioritise urgent matters as necessary.

Keeping you informed is our priority. Our experienced commercial lawyers will provide regular updates throughout the process, notifying you of any developments. Additionally, we will notify you in advance if your presence is required, whether for meetings, court appearances, or other important events.

Your privacy and confidentiality of the information you share with us are of utmost importance. We are bound by strict confidentiality rules. Anything you disclose to us is protected under solicitor-client privilege, ensuring that your information remains confidential.

Please note that our commercial lawyers are not always able to take on all cases or matters referred to us. Acceptance of engagement depends on various factors such as the client’s agreement to our professional fees and terms of engagement, availability and current work schedule of our commercial lawyers, the expertise required for the engagement, and if there is a conflict of interest. We will not take on a case if we feel we are unable to deliver our best to you.
