How the office approaches your matter
For an accusation arising from an investment or commercial transaction, the review examines the agreement, communications before payment, transfers, use of funds and performance records. The assessment is based on the file rather than one party’s description.
Scope of legal services
- Review of allegations and the transaction chronology
- Analysis of contracts, transfers and communications
- Preparation of defence submissions or claims
- Representation during investigation, trial or appeal as agreed
What to include in your initial enquiry
Whether you are accused or affected, the transaction type, current stage and next official 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 I request a file review before appointing counsel for the whole case?
Yes. A separate review can identify issues, missing documents and available workstreams. A further engagement can then define representation in the relevant stage.
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.
