Terms of Business and Legal Fees

We offer a flexible engagement structure that clients can customize to their specific needs. Each client can select individual legal services for a flat or capped fee. Additionally, through our Service Plans we offer packages of services which group activities that are typically provided together for a reduced rate.

Under the capped fee structure, fees are charged for the time actually spent on the matter up to the pre-established amount. For example, if the time spent on the case generates a fee that is lower than the capped fee amount, we will only bill the lower fee based on time. Conversely, should the accrued fee based on time be higher than the capped fee, the client will only pay the capped fee.

Terms might vary over time and in accordance with particular case circumstances. We always provide clients with a customized Engagement Letter which outlines the terms of business for their specific case scenario.

Corporate & Commercial Testimonials

Paul Bonar (from Google reviews)

I would like to share my experiences working with SLM. I was new in business running teams in the renewable industry, I was offered an opportunity to expand my business into Italy. I knew nothing about the Italian laws and rules for UK workers to enter and the requirements needed to meet the standards. After some google searches I was introduced to Alessandro who took control of everything, he was very responsive, efficient getting by documents drawn up even though I had 11 staff it was an easy process. Since then I have used SLM and Alessandro for any business in Italy, this is my 4 year using and every season after, now I will using them to set up an Italy branch. If you want quick efficient quality service then you don’t need to look anywhere else. I have never met them in person but I can trust them to do the business I require at short notice. Amazing service.
