Legal Consultation

9 Visits

Useful legal advice begins with a defined question and a reliable account of the facts. This service considers the issue, available options and relevant risks so individuals and businesses can assess their next step.

Scope of work

  • Review the facts and documents relevant to the question.
  • Identify missing information and assumptions that affect the assessment.
  • Explain options, practical implications and issues requiring further study.
  • Provide advice or recommendations within the agreed scope.

When to consider this service

Advice may be useful before signing an agreement, after receiving a demand, when an obligation is disputed or when choosing between several possible approaches. The scope depends on the question, documents and relevant timelines.

How the process begins

  1. Define the question, objectives and relevant timelines.
  2. Review documents and identify information needed for the assessment.
  3. Explain the options and agree the scope, deliverables and engagement terms.

General considerations

Requirements and the appropriate approach depend on the facts, relevant rules and documents. General information does not replace a matter-specific assessment. An enquiry does not guarantee an outcome or acceptance of an engagement.

Common questions

Does advice include representation?

Advice and representation are different scopes. An assessment does not include proceedings or advocacy unless expressly agreed as part of an appropriate engagement.

What information helps at the outset?

A brief factual summary, the purpose of the enquiry and any existing deadlines. Do not send sensitive documents through the public form; an appropriate sharing method can be agreed after contact.
