How we work together
From scoping to useful next steps
Set monthly priorities
A product, legal and compliance roadmap call helps decide how to use the agreed advisory time.
Review and maintain continuity
Advice, document reviews and agreed monitoring feed into the legal backlog and decision log, with additional work scoped separately.
Published delivery times are targets and are confirmed after reviewing the scope and required information.
An illustrative situation
How it can fit a business decision
A SaaS founder is managing supplier negotiations, enterprise questionnaires and product changes at the same time. Monthly counsel helps prioritise those requests and maintain a record of the legal decisions made.
What to prepare
- Your current product and commercial priorities.
- The contracts, governance tasks or customer reviews likely to need support.
- The people responsible for instructing the adviser and approving priorities.
A short description of the product and issue is enough for a first enquiry. We agree the documents needed once the review scope is clear.
Questions before you start
Does the monthly fee cover unlimited support?
No. The published starting package includes up to six hours of agreed advisory support per month and an initial three-month engagement. The scope, treatment of meeting time, response arrangements and any additional charges are confirmed in writing.
Can I ask for advice on a narrower issue?
Yes. Explain the issue so we can assess whether a focused consultation or document review is appropriate. The scope and fee for a separate instruction are agreed before work starts.
Which languages can we work in?
Consultations and explanations can be in English, Persian or Azerbaijani. The language of written documents is agreed at the outset, taking account of your counterparties, market and business needs.
