1 · WHERE ARE YOU, AND WHAT LAW GOVERNS?

• Your company is established in the UK, Ireland, Switzerland, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Malta, Gibraltar, New Zealand or Hong Kong — and the matter is governed by the law of one of those countries → yes, subject to question 2 — delivered directly by the founder. Commercial contract work under these systems isn’t reserved to the regulated legal profession, which is why senior bespoke work is available here at a fraction of a consultancy — lawfully, and in the open.
• Either answer is different → tell us both in the enquiry. Some combinations still work; others reserve contract advice to admitted lawyers. We confirm within one business day, before any charge.

2 · WHERE WILL THE ADVICE BE USED?

• With your team, wherever they sit → in most cases this changes nothing.
• In a market that regulates advice arriving from abroad → a few do, independently of what law governs your contract. Where that applies we say so before you commit, and either satisfy the local requirement ourselves or bring in an admitted local lawyer for the part that needs one — introduced and coordinated by us, contracted by you directly, so there’s no fee-sharing and no doubt about who is advising on what.

3 · WHAT DOES THE MATTER NEED?

• Commercial substance — drafting, review, negotiation positions, risk allocation, fallback and escalation strategy, market-standard terms → that’s exactly what we deliver.
• Something reserved — representation before a court, tribunal or regulator; conducting litigation; filings made on your behalf; notarial acts; work tied to the sale of a business where local rules reserve it; a formal legal opinion in a market that restricts who may give one → that’s an admitted lawyer, and we’ll say so and route you rather than blur the line.
• Privilege → our work isn’t covered by legal professional privilege, which generally attaches to admitted lawyers. For drafting and negotiation that rarely matters. Where a matter is already contentious — or looks likely to become so — we say so before we start, so the sensitive analysis sits in a privileged channel from the outset rather than in our file.

We are not a law firm and don’t hold ourselves out as one. No court work, no filings, no regulated titles, no privilege. Everything above costs you nothing to test: tell us the governing law, where the advice will land, and what you need — scope is confirmed within one business day, and you’re never charged before it is.
