Put simply - you get access to senior UK legal expertise at junior level prices, and our fixed fee structure provides certainty of legal spend.
Advantages
Our Pricing Approach
Many of our New Zealand-based legal consultants come from an in-house background. Having been “the client” before, we focus on delivering value and finding solutions, not on billing hours.
Our innovative, results-focused approach to delivering legal services creates a relationship focused on your outcomes, not our inputs. Unless you really want us to, we will not bill you by the hour. When pricing legal services we focus on the scope of the task and the results you want to achieve, not the time it may take us to perform your work.
Your benefits
Put simply - you get access to senior UK legal expertise at junior level prices, and our fixed fee structure provides certainty of legal spend. We stand by our ability to accurately scope your work based on years of experience performing legal services. However, if we fail to scope your work properly, or neglect to take the time to understand your business objectives or drivers, our fee remains the same.
Our approach to pricing confers a number of benefits on you including:
- the ability to accurately forecast legal spend and/or pass on the savings (and the price certainty) to your clients
- the freedom to ask questions without having to make an investment decision every time - we don’t charge for answering your call
- efficient use of funds – you don’t need to keep a provision for variable fees
- understanding which tasks, activities and services we are responsible for delivering, and when
- the ability to measure the success of our services.
A “safe pair of hands”
We know from experience which legal tasks, activities and processes can be successfully provided offshore.
Through a previous consulting company, one of our Directors, Larissa Glubb, successfully provided remote legal services to an international law firm headquartered in London and a multinational IT solutions provider based in Texas, USA.
Another of our Directors, Andrew Hamilton, has years of experience successfully designing business processes and delivering outsourcing solutions for international organizations.

Quality
A core advantage of our model is that the experience of our team reduces the review required onshore.
The quality of our team cauterizes duplication of work in high-cost locations, and limits review loops that increase the “all-in” cost of outsourcing and act as a barrier to quick turn-around times. Each member of our team has been selected based on stringent criteria and following a rigorous selection process including comprehensive background screening.
We only select professionals with first rate qualifications, solid UK legal experience, strong technical skills, an ethical approach to the provision of legal services, initiative and common sense. No exceptions.

Responsiveness
Responsiveness is a core principle of our company and one we are very proud of. You should expect responsiveness from your legal services provider as a right. (Our own experience with some legal service providers tells us how frustrating non-responsiveness can be!)
Our working practises are designed to make our progress on your work transparent. We utilize web-enabled project management and reporting tools and other relevant technologies to maximize collaboration, communication and transparency.
Of course, a simple text or email may often be the most effective way to give you the comfort you need on progress!
Compatibility
English is not just our business language, it is our first language. All our legal consultants studied and practiced law using English as a first language. You get a match of language and professional culture which, combined with our previous legal experience onshore in the UK, means we are in a position to fully understand your legal needs in your business context.
The compatibility we offer is a way to help ensure nothing is “lost in translation” during scoping or communications, a way to avoid duplication, and a way to make ourselves fully accessible to all your staff.
We regard compatibility as a critical component of the success and longevity of an outsourcing relationship.
Agility
We have deliberately built a nimble organization with the flexibility to scale or fine tune our services to fit your individual needs. If you require depth in a particular area, or extra bandwidth to cope with additional workload, our operating model and enterprise architecture is designed to accommodate this without quality being compromised.
