Right beside your company: uninterrupted and predictable legal support.
Ongoing legal counsel provides retainer-based legal support for your company's day-to-day operations — quickly accessible and predictable in cost. As your external legal counsel, we stand by you at every stage of your decisions.
Your legal team — the same people, always reachable
Ongoing legal counsel is a retainer model that delivers the legal support your company needs within a lasting relationship rather than on a case-by-case basis. You bring every question to a familiar team, without opening a separate file each time.
As outside counsel who knows your company's operations, sector and risk appetite closely, we accelerate your day-to-day decisions, reduce legal uncertainty and keep costs predictable.

How Does the Process Work?
The three stages we follow in establishing and running an ongoing counsel relationship.
01 · Introduction & Scope
We analyse your company, your sector and your legal needs, and clarify the scope of the counsel and the communication flow.
02 · Ongoing Support

The fixed monthly retainer is set according to the size of your company, the volume of contracts and transactions, the expected density of queries and the areas of law to be covered. We define the scope together and make clear from the outset which work is included in the fixed fee and which — litigation, arbitration or a major transaction, for example — falls outside it and is billed separately. That framework is r…
On the contrary, the most costly legal mistakes are usually made during the founding and growth phase. That is the phase in which the partnership structure, the first contracts, the employment relationships and the personal-data arrangements all get set, and foundations laid wrong cost several times as much to correct afterwards. For smaller companies we build entry-level models with a deliberately narrow scope that…
We work on the principle of responding on the same or next business day for routine questions, and more quickly than that for urgent matters. Because our regular clients work with a dedicated team that knows their files, there is no need to explain everything from scratch with each question; this improves both the speed and the accuracy of the answer. The urgency levels and the channel you prefer — telephone, e-mail…
Ongoing advisory is a flexible relationship based on mutual trust. Provided that the notice periods set out in the agreement are observed, the relationship may be terminated by either party. Our aim is not to tie you in, but to sustain the relationship through the value we deliver.
The scope of the retainer is defined together at the introductory stage and clearly set out in the agreement. Matters that fall outside the scope, such as litigation, arbitration or large-scale transactions, are handled under separately agreed terms. On such matters, we always provide information and a proposal before the process begins.
With case-by-case representation, each issue means a separate file and separate billing. With ongoing counsel, by contrast, you build a lasting relationship with a team that knows your company and meet your day-to-day legal needs without opening a new file each time and at a predictable cost. This model is designed for companies that require speed and continuity.
Ongoing counsel is generally provided on the basis of a fixed monthly retainer. The fee is set at the outset, taking into account your company's size, sector, and expected workload. This way, the cost of legal support becomes a predictable line item in your budget.
