Priced before we start.
Founders and finance directors should never be surprised by a legal bill. Here is how we charge, and the models we use for different kinds of work.
Incorporation & structuring
Company incorporation, constitutions, founders’ and shareholders’ agreements and standard structuring are quoted as a fixed fee, with disbursements shown separately.
Indicative: incorporation packages from a low fixed fee; a founders’ / shareholders’ agreement as a separate fixed fee.
Financing rounds
SAFE and convertible-note rounds are handled on a capped fee. Priced equity rounds are scoped and capped so the legal cost of raising is known before you start.
Indicative: a capped fee for a standard convertible instrument; a scoped, capped range for a priced round.
M&A & transactions
Deals are scoped by phase — diligence, negotiation, completion — with an estimate per phase and an aborted-deal position agreed at the outset.
Indicative: estimated per phase against an agreed scope; hourly rates disclosed upfront where time-based work is needed.
Ongoing counsel
Growth companies and funds that need regular support can work with us on a light monthly retainer for general corporate and commercial questions.
Indicative: a monthly retainer sized to your expected volume, reviewed each quarter.
The details
- All fees are exclusive of the Sales & Service Tax (SST) at the prevailing rate and of disbursements (filing fees, stamp duty, search fees and the like), which are shown separately.
- We provide a written scope and fee estimate before we begin, and we tell you promptly if anything looks likely to change it.
- Certain fees — for example conveyancing on any real-property element of a deal — are governed by the Solicitors’ Remuneration Order 2023 and are charged on that scale.
- The figures on this page are indicative only and not a quotation. Ask us for a fee proposal for your specific matter.
