Questions and answers regarding our legal advice
Why should we as a small company take on legal advice from outside?
Finding answers to relevant issues is sometimes challenging considering the complication of the law and the regulations thereto. Commercial Action without professional assistance can lead to significant legal troubles. The need for a legal deparment or partner therefore does not result from the size of a company but from the issues which need to be handled and resolved. Instead of setting up your own legal department with the accompanying fixed costs and overhead, Sgier + Partner can offer legal advice in its stead. The costs for legal advice thus only occur when you actually need it. This enables you to benefit from legal advice which responds to your needs and is easy to budget.
Why should I consider Sgier + Partner to complement our own legal department?
Lawyers’ fees are usually a lot higher than the hourly rate of Sgier + Partner. Further to that, the costs for telephone, fax, E-Mail, postage and copies are not invoiced. You have an overview of all the Services Sgier + Partner provided in connection with legal advice and thus also over the costs. For services which require more time than an hour you are informed of the estimated time it will take. This enables you to budget in advance and profit from reasonable prices.
