What can a legal consultation cover?<\/h2>\n

The scope depends on the matter, documents and available time. It may include reviewing facts, a contract, notice or judgment; identifying applicable rules and jurisdiction; explaining strengths and risks; checking deadlines; identifying missing evidence; and recommending the next practical step.<\/p>\n

Booking a consultation does not automatically mean the firm accepts representation. Representation starts after conflict checks, agreement on scope and fees, and completion of any power of attorney or authorisation.<\/p>\n

Lawyer and legal consultant: what is the difference?<\/h2>\n

Federal Decree-Law No. 34 of 2022 Regulating the Legal Profession and Legal Consultation Profession<\/a> governs registration, practice and professional duties. A legal consultant provides advice, drafting and services permitted by registration and licence, while advocacy and appearance before authorities depend on the lawyer\u2019s status, registration, authority and the competent forum. The firm therefore identifies the required service and the practitioner legally able to perform it.<\/p>\n

How does a consultation start?<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Provide party names for a conflict check before disclosing sensitive details.<\/li>\n
  2. Send a short chronology and the practical outcome required.<\/li>\n
  3. Provide the main agreements, notices, judgments and correspondence.<\/li>\n
  4. State the nearest hearing, deadline or signing date.<\/li>\n
  5. The firm defines the review scope, appointment, fees and missing documents.<\/li>\n
  6. After review, the available options and next step are explained.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Oral advice and written legal opinions<\/h2>\n

    A meeting may be enough for a defined question. Complex agreements, multiple facts or advice required for an internal decision may call for a written opinion. Agree whether the work includes a meeting, document review, written opinion, drafting, negotiations or representation.<\/p>\n

    In-person and remote consultations<\/h2>\n

    Meetings may be arranged at the office or remotely depending on the matter and any need to verify identity or inspect original documents. Urgent and document-heavy files benefit from an indexed set of documents before the appointment. Do not send sensitive data until the firm\u2019s official communication channel is confirmed.<\/p>\n

    Confidentiality and conflict checks<\/h2>\n

    The firm requests the names of parties and related entities first. Do not send admissions, trade secrets or complete financial data before the firm confirms that it can consider the engagement. The method for exchanging documents, authorised contacts and client approvals is then agreed.<\/p>\n

    How are consultation fees determined?<\/h2>\n

    Fees depend on the volume of documents, specialist subject, urgency, language, research, written work and attendance. The law defines a retainer agreement as the agreement setting the fees and payment method and the type and nature of assigned duties. Request a written scope that separates professional fees from government charges, translation and expert costs.<\/p>\n
