How an engagement works
Fixed fees, named people, no surprises
This is how every engagement runs, whether it is a single notice or a multi-year retainer.
- Step 1
You tell us what is going on
A call, a WhatsApp message or the enquiry form. Within one working day we reply with the questions we need answered.
- Step 2
We scope it and quote a fixed fee
Every engagement starts with a written scope and a fixed fee. For compliance that usually begins with a two-week health check.
- Step 3
A named person does the work
You get one accountable contact, a calendar of what happens when, and copies of every filing and acknowledgement.
- Step 4
You get a plain-language status, every month
One page: what was done, what is due, what changed in the law and what we need from you.
What you can expect
The standards we hold ourselves to
Protective
Our first job is to keep you out of trouble. We say no to shortcuts that create risk, and we tell you about exposure early rather than late.
Precise
Compliance is a discipline of dates, figures and formats. We keep the calendar, check the numbers and keep the records an inspector expects.
Dependable
Same person, same process, every month. If something changes in the law, you hear it from us before it affects you.
Approachable
Plain language, quick replies, and a WhatsApp number that gets answered. You should never feel you need a lawyer to talk to us.
