A reminder

Many clients only need one-off pieces of work usually because of their size or complexity, such as:

• Draft/review a contract
• Advise on law
• Advise on potential problems
• Help draft and/or review correspondence with regulators
• Help with negotiations
• Review of certain processes

A freelancer or consultant may only need a precedent for a consultancy and NDA as their core documents to offer to their clients. Of course, more often than not, their clients prefer their own contract if they have it.

Or a SME that provides a service or product, may just need a good set of standard terms and conditions to sell their services or products plus a quick review to make sure they win the Battle of Forms to rely upon them. Otherwise, they are rarely used or even referred to if they match the operational procedures.

How

Anyone who has instructed a law firm in the past, this is the same approach. You contact us with what you need, we provide a quote/estimate and then once the work is done, an invoice is raised to pay.

New clients do have to go through an admin-heavy process at the beginning but once done, its done and usually doesn’t need to be done unless there are changes.

Name and object

It is called “Ad Hoc” because it reflects the intermittent nature of what is needed by the client.

In terms of an icon – the jigsaw piece reflects the legal input being just one part of the bigger picture that is a business.
