THE HLS WAY
FLEXIBLE SUPPORT
There are many ways we can help. At one end of the scale, we can advise on specific drafting or contractual interpretation questions; at the other, we can manage everything from initial scoping to execution, including dealing with relevant stakeholders as required. It depends entirely on what makes your working life easier. We can fly solo or work as part of a team. We can work with other lawyers or be “the lawyer". If you need a lawyer for a big project, like developing global templates for business terms and conditions, we can do that too.
PRICING
Good commercial and life sciences lawyers are a rare breed. The result is that they come at a premium. While we do not aim to be the cheapest legal solution around, compared to other options, we think you will find us to be very competitive. Before we quote, we will ask about your favoured pricing structure, whether that means hourly rate, half or full day fees or something else.
WHAT WE DON'T DO
Anything that the law determines or the SRA considers to be reserved activities (because we only undertake non-reserved activities for our clients). Reserved activities are set out in Section 12 of the Legal Services Act 2007.
