Legal Drafting
Do you need help with a legal document? We draft, review, update, vet, advise on and negotiate legal documents. Things like agreements, contracts, templates, guides, terms and conditions, policies, codes and legislation. We pride ourselves on drafting beautiful legal documents in line with International current best practice.
Legal Compliance
We help large organisations comply with complex laws (like data protection laws, access to information, IT laws and cybercrime) in a practical and effective way. Our process is insightful, entrepreneurial, and will reduce your overall costs.
Legal Opinion
When we draft legal opinions we set out the facts, the relevant law, and then we apply the law to the facts. A good opinion is practical, specific, backed up with legal theory, and recommends action. Our opinions are practical and written in plain language to make them accessible.
Guidance or Advice
If you need practical legal guidance or legal advice on a specific issue you face, we can guide you, advise you and point you towards legal information. We aim to provide guidance and advise that is valuable to you – it makes you change the way you see the world.
Clear communication
We can help you achieve clear legal communications by writing your legal documents in plain legal language and designing them using legal design techniques so that they are accessible and understandable.
Dispute resolution
We can help you with dispute resolution (and online mediation), that is, resolve a dispute that you have with someone about something.
You can engage our legal services in different ways
We help you identify what you need, developing a strategy to find a cost-effective and practical legal solution.
Specific and ad hoc
Sometimes the help you need is specific or ad hoc, for example, a contract to be reviewed or a policy to be drafted. We clarify your requirements and provide you with quotes for you to have clarity on pricing.
Retainer
Other times you may want to engage us to deliver a legal solution. One that requires us to work with you to develop strategy, scope and implement. We boost your team with legal support at a variety of cost levels.
Projects or programmes
Enjoy the benefit of working with our legal project manager, who ensures the project is delivered within budget, in scope and on time, and understands the legal nuances. Projects include supporting your data protection programme or implementing a software solution.
Outhouse legal - outsourced In-house legal
We sometimes work as the outsourced “in-house legal”. We manage the entire legal function for our clients giving them peace of mind that they have continuity, good templates in place, focused record-keeping and someone always available.
What our clients say about our work
I wanted to take a moment to thank you all for your hard work and support on the international RFP response. I know it was a lot of work, but I’m so proud of what we accomplished together. I especially appreciate your willingness to go the extra mile. Whether it was staying late to finish up the proposal, or providing feedback on various questions, I couldn’t have done it without you. I’m excited to hear back from the client and see if we were selected. But regardless of the outcome, I’m grateful for the opportunity to have worked on this project with such a talented and dedicated team. Thank you again for everything. Asante Sana! Together we achieve more.
More often than not our clients have quite a lot to say about working with us – it may bring you comfort to know what they say.
