Common questions

What to expect when you reach out.

Is the first conversation really without obligation?
Yes. The initial conversation is confidential and carries no obligation or fee — it exists to understand your matter and decide together whether the practice is the right fit.
Can you act as an interim or outsourced General Counsel?
Yes. The practice can hold the GC seat on a temporary basis while you recruit, and offers ongoing fractional GC support — senior in-house judgement on flexible terms.
Where can you act?
With bases in the UK and UAE, the practice works across the United Kingdom, MENA, Europe and Asia-Pacific.
How quickly will I hear back?
Enquiries via WhatsApp, phone or email are typically acknowledged within one business day.
How are fees structured?
Engagements are scoped and priced up front — most often on a flat-fee or retainer basis rather than billable hours.
Is my information kept confidential?
Absolutely. All enquiries and engagements are treated as strictly confidential. Sensitive matters can be discussed under NDA prior to any formal engagement.

Prefer a warm introduction? That works too.

Many engagements begin with a note from an existing client, board member or trusted intermediary.
