Your in-house legal partner,
without the overhead

The Retainer is built for businesses that have moved past occasional legal questions and need something more consistent — a regular relationship with a senior adviser who knows your contracts, your team, and your risk profile.

Fixed monthly fee. Priority access. Proactive review built in. It runs like a subscription and feels like having a lawyer on staff, without the salary, pension and management overhead.

Fixed fee,
across everything

All Silva services are priced as fixed fees. Here is how we approach it.

01

You know the cost before we start

Every engagement is scoped and priced upfront. The fee is agreed in writing before any work begins. If scope changes, we tell you before the cost changes — not after.

02

No hourly rates

We do not charge by the hour. Hourly billing creates perverse incentives and unpredictable invoices. Fixed fees align our interests with yours: we do the job well and efficiently.

03

Transparent scope

What the fee covers is written down. If something falls outside scope, we flag it and agree a fee before proceeding. Nothing is added silently to an invoice.

Not sure where
to begin?

The quickest way to get started is a Discovery Day — one fixed-fee session that maps your legal position and tells you exactly what needs attention. Or get in touch directly and we will point you in the right direction.
