Legal Compliance

An initial consultation is the best way for us to find out whether, and how, I can help. It suits business owners and directors facing a decision that matters. You get my considered view of your situation, not just a first impression.

‍

The fee is a fixed $1,650 (including GST). It covers a phone consultation of up to two hours, plus up to one hour of my time to consider the material you send me beforehand and to prepare my written note afterwards. Here is how it works:

1. When you book, you tell me briefly what the matter is about and who else is involved, so I can carry out a conflict check and confirm I’m free to act. If I can’t act for you, I’ll refund your fee in full.

2. I tell you what information and documents I’d like to see, and I consider them before we speak.

3. We talk it through by phone. I give you my initial advice, the options I see and what I’d do in your shoes.

4. Afterwards, I send you a short written note of my advice and the next steps I recommend.

‍

If I can help further, I’ll explain how. If I can’t, I’ll say so. You are under no obligation to engage me further. If your matter needs more than this, I’ll send you a proposal setting out how I can help and an estimate of my fees. No further work starts until you accept it.

I keep only a limited number of consultation times. If none suits you, or you’d like to check anything before booking, email info@klaw.com.au and I’ll do my best to accommodate you.
