Corporate Legal Retainer
Ongoing corporate-law counsel on a fixed monthly retainer — board and shareholder matters, contracts, notices and day-to-day questions, without per-hour billing.
A company that keeps needing a lawyer for an hour and does not want to start a new engagement each time.
Timeline
1–2 weeks
From kick-off to hand-over, once we have what we need from you.
Commitment
Minimum term 3 months
Billed monthly. After 3 months it continues month to month and either side may end it with 30 days' notice.
How we work
One named lead
The same person from the first call to hand-over, not a queue.
What you get
- An agreed volume of contract review and drafting each month
- Board and shareholder documentation: notices, minutes and resolutions
- Statutory register upkeep and the annual filing calendar
- A named lawyer reachable for a question, with a stated response time
- A quarterly review of the agreements you are actually operating under
What is not included
- Litigation, arbitration and any appearance before a court or tribunal
- Transaction work: fundraising, acquisitions and due diligence
- Intellectual-property prosecution, which is a separate service
- Government and filing fees
- Work beyond the monthly volume, which is quoted before it starts
Anything here can be added to a corporate legal retainer engagement, quoted separately before it starts.
What we need from you
Projects run late for one reason far more than any other: waiting on something only you can provide. These are the ones that hold the clock.
- Your existing contracts and corporate records
- The incorporation documents and the current cap table
- A named person who can instruct us
- The deadline on anything urgent, at the time you send it

This one is priced to your situation — most of what we do needs a local filing agent, so we scope it rather than guess. Tell us the specifics and we come back with a fixed quote and a confirmed timeline, within one business day.

A monthly engagement, not a filing
No authority is involved and there is no statutory fee. The price on this page buys the scope described on this page; work outside it is quoted separately and approved by you first, and either side may end the engagement after the minimum term. Your proposal and engagement letter are the binding documents.
