Commercial service / YOUR LEGAL RETAINER
Ongoing legal support
For businesses with recurring legal work, a retainer can bring an agreed range of support into a monthly arrangement. Barnard scopes the work with you so the service, fee and treatment of additional matters are clear.
OPEN. UNFOLD. GET BACK TO BUSINESS.
Does this sound familiar?
Legal work keeps arriving. You need a team that knows the business.
- You regularly need contracts drafted or reviewed
- Company records and compliance require continuing attention
- You want access to commercial legal support without a full-time in-house department
How we can help

- Contract drafting, reviews and amendments
- Company secretarial and statutory maintenance
- Commercial advice and agreed compliance support
Set a workable scope
- Identify the usual volume and type of work
- Agree the monthly fee and service arrangements
- Clarify exclusions and how additional matters will be quoted
Keep the arrangement relevant
- Review support as the business changes
- Maintain continuity across recurring matters
- Coordinate specialist input where a matter requires it
Before we speak
Useful information to have ready for the conversation.
- The types of legal work that arise regularly
- An estimate of the volume and frequency
- The people who will work with the legal team
- Any immediate matters you want included in the discussion
You do not need all of this to make an enquiry. Start with a brief outline; the team will arrange how to receive any sensitive documents.
