Consultation
For new clients, I offer a paid initial phone consultation for $1,430 (incl. GST), which covers up to two hours of my time.
This option provides a relatively low-risk way for us to discuss your situation and explore how I may be able to help. I will provide initial advice and direction where possible. However, most matters require more than two hours to complete; if that’s the case, I’ll provide a follow-up proposal outlining how I'm able to help and an estimate of legal fees.
I set aside only a limited number of consultation times. If you can’t find a suitable time, or would like to clarify anything before booking, please get in touch — I’ll do my best to accommodate you.
