How a consultation works
From first call to clear position.
No open-ended retainers before we understand your matter. You leave the first meeting knowing your options, risks and a realistic cost range.
- I
Intake call
A 15-minute call with an associate to understand the matter, check for conflicts and match you with the right partner.
- II
Document review
You share contracts, title deeds, Ejari, MOAs or correspondence. We read everything before we meet — not during.
- III
Partner consultation
A structured session in your preferred language covering the legal position, forum options and likely timelines.
- IV
Written strategy
A concise memo with recommended next steps and a fixed or capped fee proposal. Proceed only if it makes sense.
