How we work
Scope, responsibility and fee basis are confirmed before substantive work begins.
Initial contact
Tell us what the matter involves.
We review it, confirm whether it is within our scope, and say what information we need.
Scope and fee basis
If we can act, we confirm the scope, responsible lawyer and fee basis before substantive work begins.
Where the scope allows, we give an estimate. If the scope changes, we address it before additional work proceeds.
Progress
We progress the matter to the agreed scope.
At each stage, you should know what has happened, what is needed next and who is responsible.
FAQ
What areas does OneLegal focus on?
Property and development, lending and security, and disputes and enforcement, including debt recovery arising from property and lending matters. If a matter falls outside our focus, we say so early.
What happens after I make an enquiry?
We confirm receipt, run a conflict check and ask for anything needed to assess the matter. If we can act, we confirm the scope, fee basis and responsible lawyer. If the matter is outside our scope, we say so.
What should I send with my enquiry?
A short summary of the matter and any deadlines. For lending matters, include the loan amount, security and timing. For disputes, include the other party, key dates and current stage. Do not send confidential documents until we have completed a conflict check and confirmed in writing that we can act.
