How the office approaches your matter
The work begins with the investment or transaction, the parties’ roles, the records available and the authority handling the matter. The proposed scope identifies the claim or allegation and the representation required.
Scope of legal services
- Review of investment agreements and transaction records
- A chronology of instructions, payments and communications
- Assessment of evidence and preparation of submissions
- Representation before the competent authority or committee as agreed
What to include in your initial enquiry
The investment or transaction, your role, any existing proceedings and the next deadline. Start with a concise summary; arrangements for confidential documents can be agreed with the office.
Scope, deliverables and fees
The proposal identifies the client, the stage covered, the work to be delivered, fees and the payment schedule. Further stages or specialist work are agreed separately where needed.
Can you review an investment dispute before proceedings begin?
Yes. A focused review can examine the records and issues and define the additional material needed to assess the appropriate course of action.
Does a review guarantee a particular outcome?
No. Advice and representation depend on the facts, evidence and procedural position. Acceptance of an engagement is subject to file review and conflict checks.
