How an engagement works
The same four steps for a contract review or a contested acquisition. You always know which one you are in.
Step 1: First call
A partner listens to what you are facing, free of charge, and tells you plainly whether we are the right firm.
Step 2: Assessment
Within a week you receive a written view of the issue, the options and a fixed or capped fee for the first phase.
Step 3: Engagement
The partner who assessed the matter leads it, with a small team you meet at the start and who stays to the end.
Step 4: Resolution
We close the deal or resolve the dispute, then send a short note on anything you should watch for afterwards.
The partners you’ll work with
Every matter is led by a partner, supported by a small team you meet at the start.
