Frequently asked questions

We assist businesses with both day-to-day operations and high-level strategic legal matters, including:

• Commercial contracts: Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating supplier, client, and vendor agreements.
• Employment & workplace: Contracts, workplace policies, compliance, and dispute resolution.
• Real estate agencies: Advisory services for real estate agents and agencies, including agency agreements, commission structures, regulatory compliance, and day-to-day commercial matters.
• Corporate & governance: Business sales, acquisitions, shareholder agreements, and corporate compliance.
• Property & commercial leasing: Lease reviews, land/property disputes, and commercial arrangements.
• Disputes & general advice: Pragmatic risk management and dispute resolution support.

We are available for specific transactions, dedicated project work, or overflow support when your team needs extra capacity.

Absolutely. You can engage us for a single contract, transaction, or project without any long-term commitment. If you require regular advice, we can also set up an ongoing fractional counsel arrangement tailored to your business’s rhythm and budget.

We offer simple, transparent, and flexible pricing structures tailored to your scope of work:

• Fixed fees: For defined projects, contracts, or transactions so you have cost certainty.
• Fractional / monthly support: Predictable ongoing rates for regular advice.
• Hourly rates: Applied where the scope of work is inherently variable or evolving.

We prioritise fee transparency upfront so you know what to expect before work begins.

The Company Counsel is designed to operate more like an extension of your business than an external law firm. You get experienced legal support on a flexible basis, without the traditional law firm cost structure or the expense of employing a full-time in-house lawyer. For ongoing clients, getting to know your business also means less time getting up to speed each time something arises.
