Your legal position, mapped in full.
What to Expect
A legal review normally happens during a crisis. We work with you to get ahead of that normal workflow, and see how we can avoid crises.
The Process
From first call to written report, here is exactly how a Discovery Day works. Click any step, or let it run.
01
We scope the session together, priorities, documents to review, and what a successful day looks like. You share key documents in advance so we can hit the ground running.
02
We review each document you provide, collate them with your goals and timelines, then prepare the content for the workshop.
The keynote we produce will be used in the workshop to guide the conversation and decide on what is important to you.
03
We take you through our findings, discuss what the outcomes are going to be, and how you want to work through them.
The keynote is pre-approved, so works through what you want in the order you want, guided by us.
04
You will see what we have discussed, what the outcomes were, and what the next steps will be.
We review your risk profile and prioritise next steps for you based on all the information we have discussed together.
Written in easy to read, non-legal language, the report will guide the next stage of the project: Implementation.
05
We walk through the report together, answer your questions, and confirm which items are urgent. After this, you decide what to do next. There is no obligation.
Your Deliverable
The Discovery Day report is written for business owners, not for lawyers. No jargon. No vague recommendations. A clear document that tells you where you stand and what to do about it.
It covers six areas, every time. The structure stays the same so nothing gets missed.
01
Executive Summary A plain-English overview of your current legal position - the key findings, the headline risks, and where to start02
Detailed Findings Every issue identified, with explanation of what it means and why it matters for your specific situation03
Prioritised Action Plan What to do and in what order, with urgency ratings so you know what cannot wait and what can be scheduled04
Legal Work Required A clear list of what needs a lawyer's involvement, with an indicative scope for each item05
Non-Legal Work Required Process changes, policies and internal practices your team can action themselves, without legal cost06

Pricing
A Discovery Day is priced as a single fixed fee. You will know the cost before we start, and it will not change. No hourly rates, no scope creep, no invoice you were not expecting.
The fee covers the full process: Discovery Call, the review day itself, the written report, and the follow-up session.
