Legal Retainer for Businesses
A company lawyer on hand, without paying for an in-house legal department. For a predictable monthly retainer, I look after your legal agenda continuously and as a priority.
Free consultation →Ad-hoc legal help costs more than you think
Small and mid-sized companies usually do not have enough legal work to justify an in-house legal department. But dealing with every matter only once it is on fire means unpredictable costs and lost time. A retainer is the middle path: you have a lawyer on hand continuously, for a clear monthly fee.
Ad-hoc lawyer
- ×Unpredictable costs: you rarely know upfront what a matter will cost.
- ×Every question starts by explaining the context from scratch.
- ×You wait for a reply, and urgent matters get no priority.
- ×Your legal agenda is scattered across different people and places.

How the retainer works
The rules are clear from the start, so there are no surprises on the invoice or in how we work together.
- ✓Hours cover consultations, drafting and reviewing contracts, e-mails and phone calls.
- ✓Every month you receive an overview of the hours worked, so you know exactly what you got.
- ✓Unused hours do not roll over to the next month: the retainer is reserved capacity, not an hour bank.
- ✓Hours beyond your package are billed at the discounted rate of that package.
- ✓We can start anytime, always from the 1st day of the month.
