Quoted on the file
The fees above cover routine, well-defined work. Some matters are not amenable to flat fees and we quote them on the file at intake — with a written budget for each phase, monthly billing against that budget, and an updated estimate when something changes. Examples: complex multi-class shareholders' agreements, share or asset purchase agreements with earn-outs or complex reps and warranties, mergers and acquisitions, shareholder disputes, complex tax-driven reorganizations, and commercial litigation. Please contact us for a precise quote.
What's not in our fee
Government filing fees and disbursements are paid in addition to our legal fee. We collect these from you and pay them out at the time of filing — they are not hidden charges.
How we structure billing
For routine corporate and commercial files — incorporations, professional incorporations, basic agreements, ongoing maintenance — flat fees are predictable and fair on both sides. The work is well-defined, the time it takes is well-understood, and a flat fee removes the worry of running the meter for either party.
For files where the scope can shift — complex shareholder agreements, multi-party transactions, M&A, shareholder disputes, restructuring driven by an evolving tax plan — we work hourly with a written budget for each phase of the file. The budget gets updated when scope changes, and we bill monthly against it so you always know where things stand.
We do not run the meter without a plan, on any file.
