Tell us what you need — from a few days a month to a strategic secondment. Our network of senior lawyers can flex to meet your growth and risk profile.
I’m ready. Let’s go!
Consult & Curate:
Before we can jump right in, we need to understand what makes you tick, what do you need most from us and how can we add the most value.
Identify Solution & Pricing:
We work with you to agree custom-fit our retainer scope, roadmap and expected time commitment per month to meet your goals. During this phase we aim to get a holistic understanding on where you are at, and what your core priorities are so we can meet and exceed expectations.
Onboard:
Now that we've agreed we are a match, we send you our proposal and sign engagement terms using our customer-centric onboard portal. In doing so, we prioritise clarity of spend, alignment on deliverable and agreed timelines.
Go-Time:
We jump into action and get started! We are so convinced you will love working with us that we don’t require long term contract commitments, and we can flex the time/scope commitment up or down to meet your needs as we go along. Let's get to work!
Check-ins:
Adapting as we go, always looking to make sure we are giving you what you need when you need it.
Client feedback loop & Process improvement:
We are always raising the bar and we want to hear what you think about us and how we can improve.
