What it covers
What the engagement includes
Four workstreams, each with a named deliverable — nothing is left as an implicit assumption.
Articles framework
The key clauses your articles need, in plain language, ready for legal drafting.
Decision rules
Who approves what, at which threshold — written down before the disagreement arrives.
Shareholder agreement skeleton
Structure and options for the agreement, prepared for your lawyer to complete.
Meeting rules that work
Notice, quorum and voting rhythms sized to a working company, not a textbook.
How it is scoped
Written scope, fixed fee, no surprises
Every mandate is scoped in writing before work starts: what we will look at, what you receive, and what the engagement costs. A fixed fee applies to diagnoses and document work; larger design projects are quoted per project; retainer clients pay a monthly subscription.
Work is delivered online across Europe, in English, through consultations, assessments and written advisory reports.

How it runs
From first call to deliverable
Four stages, one adviser, and a written record at each step.
We translate the designed structure into document frameworks.
You and your co-owners mark up what works and what does not.
A brief with every open point listed, sent to your chosen lawyer.
We review the legal drafts against the agreed framework.
Typical elapsed time is stated in the written scope, not estimated on a call.
