Fixed-fee work
There are various scenarios when I can work on a fixed-fee basis, for instance:
Fixed-fee contract reviews. If you have been asked to sign a contract on a third-party’s terms, whether a supplier contract, a customer contract, a collaboration agreement, or some other form of commercial contract, I can undertake a fixed-fee contract review according to the level of review you would like:
🥉 ‘Bronze’ review. Red flag review to highlight any substantial risks or deviations from standard market practice.
🥈 ‘Silver’ review. A ‘bronze’ review plus a summary of key terms and risks, with risk mitigation suggestions.
🥇 ‘Gold’ review. A ‘bronze’ plus ‘silver’ review plus a mark-up of the contract to reflect the suggested approach. The mark-up can be ‘light touch’, to address significant risks only, ‘middle-path’ to address significant risks and to update key terms where advisable to protect your key interests, or ‘detailed’ to optimise the whole contract.
Fixed-fee template contract and policy preparation. I can prepare up-to-date and streamlined template contracts for your business or organisation, ensuring they are appropriately tailored for you, such as: terms of business (i.e., terms of sale); terms of purchase; supplier framework agreements; collaboration agreements; project agreements; agency agreements; distribution agreements; software licences; intellectual property licences; privacy policies; terms of website use; compliance statements (e.g., anti-bribery). Whatever the template contract or policy you need, I will discuss with you your requirements and approach to risk that you would like to take, and give a fixed-fee quote to prepare the template for you.
Fixed-fee project work. Where there is a project you need to be undertaken and it is possible for us to come up with a reasonably well-defined scope and timeline, it may well be possible for me to undertake the project on a weekly, monthly, or total fixed-fee basis; if that is an approach you would like to explore, let’s discuss.
Fixed-fee start-up / scale-up NDA drafting service. For a fixed fee I can: (a) discuss with you your business model, products, services, technology, intellectual property, plans, risk appetite, and how and when you use NDAs; and then (b) develop and provide you with a tailored template NDA, or suite of template NDAs, to cover multiple scenarios, to use in your ‘business as usual’ going forward. For instance, it may be best to have different template NDAs for customers, suppliers, technical collaborators, and individual consultants - depending on the circumstances and risks. If this could be of interest, let’s discuss and I will provide you with a fixed-fee quote for the work.
