Checks. A few questions about your business.
An Insight answers a question. A guide walks a whole subject. A check does something neither can do - it asks about your situation and gives you an answer for it, including, more often than you might expect, that you do not need us. Nothing to sign up to, and the result is on the screen at the end whether you get in touch or not.
In-house lawyer, or a retainer?
Seven questions on how much legal work you actually generate. Three answers - hire, retain, or keep paying per matter - and one of them is that you do not need us yet.
Covers how often something comes up, headcount, contract volume, whether you need someone in the room, current spend, how senior the work is, and whether questions get parked to avoid a bill.

Eight questions on whether a contract claim is worth having - not just whether you are in the right, but whether winning leaves you better off. It will say if it does not.
Covers whether there is a contract, what went wrong, the value, the liability cap, whether they could pay, the six-year clock, mitigation, and what you actually want out of it.
Start the checkIs a Discovery Day right for you?
Seven questions on whether a fixed-fee review of your whole legal position is the right purchase right now. If it is not, it says which thing to look at instead.
Covers why you are looking, when anything was last reviewed, headcount, your customer contracts, what is coming in the next year, live disputes, and who would act on the report.
Start the checkDo you actually want an EMI scheme?
Ten questions on whether options are the shape of what you want, and whether your company qualifies. If EMI is not the one, it tells you which of the alternatives is.

Start the checkAre your terms and conditions doing their job?
Ten questions on when your terms get agreed, what they are silent about, and how long ago anyone read them. Ends with the gaps worth closing first, in priority order.
