Our approach

How we work with clients

We first establish the client's objective, the parties, assets, jurisdictions and practical risks. Only then do we recommend the legal approach.

How we work

We agree the scope of the work after an initial review of the facts and documents.

DiagnosticsFacts, documents, participants, goals and limitations.
Risk analysisCounterparty, contract, transaction and payment, jurisdiction and enforcement, ownership, assets and control.
Recommended approachRoadmap for a contract, structure, negotiation, dispute or compliance.
DocumentsRevisions, legal positions, letters, contractual and corporate decisions.
Ongoing supportNegotiation, coordination, control of changes and the next stage.

What we establish at the outset

An initial discussion helps us understand the urgency, the information available and whether other advisers need to be involved.

  • What is happening and what outcome the client needs.
  • Who is involved and where the relevant assets are located.
  • What documents already exist and where the material gaps are.
  • Which jurisdictions, banks, counterparties and restrictions affect the decision.
  • Which scenarios should be considered before negotiations or signature.

What you can expect

Our advice explains the legal position, the information still needed and the options open to you.

Assumptions made clear

Assumptions, missing documents and jurisdictional dependencies are identified before drafting begins.

Risks in order of importance

Material risks are separated from points that can be accepted, monitored or resolved later.

Documents you can use

We prepare the contracts, written advice or corporate documents needed for the agreed work.
