Frequently asked questions
Can the firm just review my draft, without redrafting from scratch?
Yes. Engagements may be limited to vetting an existing draft and suggesting changes via tracked-changes redlines and comments.
How quickly can a contract be turned around?
Turnaround depends on the document's complexity. Standard commercial agreements can typically be drafted within five to seven working days. Urgent matters can be accommodated subject to availability.
Are legal opinions formally signed?
Yes. Legal opinions are issued on the firm's letterhead under the lead advocate's signature, with the assumptions, scope, and limitations clearly set out.
