A retainership arrangement is normally beneficial to those clients who wish to have ongoing legal advice on a day-to-day basis or like to have readily available legal support during project implementation. Retainer is a fixed sum of money chargeable on a monthly basis for retaining the services of our law firm. This basically covers all legal advice, opinions, reviewing of documents, holding meetings and discussions on referred matters up to a pre-agreed number of hours each month. Such an arrangement, however, does not cover litigation and/or arbitration matters, the fees for which may be agreed on a case-to-case basis.
The billing methodology for our consultancy services is usually time-based i.e. chargeable on an hourly basis. This would include, for instance, opinion/consultancy work, contractual drafting/vetting/negotiations, preparing legal documentation, legal correspondence/notices, ongoing implementation advice etc., or any other similar advisory work. In certain circumstances, we may be willing to offer our clients a pre-agreed ‘fixed-fee’ arrangement. This would, however, depend on the complexity of the referred matter, the number of lawyers required to render assistance, the time needed to be spent thereon and other similar considerations.
A lump sum and fixed fee is normally quoted for litigation work (including court appearances, arbitration, mediation, etc.). Our fees are assessed on a case-to-case basis, in light of the complexity of each case, the chances of success, amount of work involved and the forum/court (original or appellate) in which a matter is to be argued.
Miscellaneous expenses such as court fees, stamp papers, disbursements (e.g. travelling, accommodation, telephone, fax, printing, photocopying, etc) are chargeable at actuals.
