We offer a complimentary 30-minute consultation for individuals, businesses, and organisations seeking structured legal and commercial advisory support. This consultation is designed to help you understand your position, identify the appropriate advisory pathway, and determine whether our services are the right fit for your needs.

The consultation is not a sales call and not legal representation. It is a focused, professional discussion intended to provide clarity and direction at an early stage.

Purpose of the Consultation

The consultation is intended to:

• Understand the nature and context of your issue

• Clarify what stage the matter is at

• Identify the key documents, risks, or decision points

• Confirm whether the matter falls within our advisory scope

• Outline suitable service options, including whether a one-off service or ongoing advisory arrangement would be more appropriate

Where possible, we will also highlight immediate priorities and next steps you should be considering.

What Happens During the Consultation

The 30-minute consultation is structured and typically follows this format:

1. Overview of Your Matter
You will briefly outline the issue, how it arose, and what you are hoping to achieve.

2. Clarification & Context
We will ask focused questions to understand timelines, documents involved, and any upcoming deadlines or hearings.

3. Advisory Assessment
We will explain how your matter would typically be approached from an advisory and preparatory perspective, including potential risks or complexities.

4. Service Pathway Discussion
We will outline the most appropriate support options, which may include:

• a specific fixed-fee service

• a specialist package

• or an ongoing advisory arrangement where continuity would be beneficial

5. Next Steps
We will explain what would happen next if you decide to proceed, including scope, timelines, and engagement terms.

What the Consultation Does Not Include

To ensure clarity:

• It is not legal advice or representation

• We do not provide advocacy or act on your behalf

• We do not draft documents during the consultation

• We do not review large document bundles live

The consultation is diagnostic and advisory in nature.

What You Must Do Before the Consultation

To make the consultation productive, we require all clients to submit a brief written overview at least 24 hours before the scheduled consultation.

Required Pre-Consultation Submission

At least 24 hours in advance, you must complete the enquiry form on our website and include:

• A short written description of your issue

• The service area involved (e.g. family court, immigration preparation, employment dispute, business contract, insolvency, creator agreement)

• The current stage of the matter

• Any known deadlines, hearings, or time sensitivities

You do not need to upload documents at this stage unless specifically requested.

⚠️ Consultations may be cancelled or rescheduled if the required pre-consultation information is not received in advance.

How to Prepare for the Consultation

To get the most value from your consultation, we recommend:

• Having a clear idea of what outcome you are seeking

• Being ready to summarise the issue concisely

• Noting any deadlines or external pressures

• Identifying whether the matter is likely to be one-off or ongoing

This allows us to use the time efficiently and focus on practical guidance.

After the Consultation: What Happens Next

Following the consultation, one of the following will usually occur:

• We will recommend a specific fixed-fee service or package

• We will outline an ongoing advisory arrangement where appropriate

• We may suggest preparation steps before formal engagement

• Where a matter requires regulated legal representation, we will explain how we can support preparation alongside authorised professionals

There is no obligation to proceed following the consultation.
