How do I request a consultation?
Please use the contact form on this website and briefly describe your matter. We will review your message, confirm whether we are able to assist and, if so, explain the next steps.
What should I prepare before contacting you?
It helps to have a short summary of what has happened, a list of the people or organisations involved, and any relevant documents such as contracts, notices or correspondence. If there is a deadline or a hearing date, please mention it in your message.
Is the information I share with you confidential?
Yes. Information that you provide to the firm in connection with a request for legal advice is treated as confidential. Please note that a message sent through this website is not an instruction to act, so we ask that you do not include highly sensitive details until we have confirmed that we can assist you.
Does sending a message create an attorney-client relationship?
No. An attorney-client relationship is formed only when we have confirmed in writing that we will act for you. Until then, sending a message does not oblige us to act and does not oblige you to instruct us.
How are your fees calculated?
Fees depend on the nature, complexity and expected duration of the matter. We will explain the basis on which fees will be charged before you decide whether to instruct us.
How long will my matter take?
The time required varies with the type of matter, the number of parties involved and, where proceedings are necessary, the schedule of the court or authority concerned. After reviewing the facts we will give you a realistic estimate and tell you if it changes.
Will I be kept informed about my matter?
Yes. We will keep you informed of significant developments and of any decision that needs your instructions, and you are welcome to ask for an update at any time.
Can you guarantee the outcome of my matter?
No lawyer can properly guarantee an outcome. What we can do is give you a candid assessment of your position, explain the options and risks, and prepare and present your case carefully.
