Benefits of monthly retainers

Cost certainty, continuity & convenience

Not only do monthly retainers give you cost certainty and no nasty surprises, you also have the continuity of the same lawyer(s) working with you as an extension of your team. We get to know you and your business, creating efficiencies and giving you the convenience of a trusted advisor on hand when you need it.

Regular contact, reliability & the right expertise

Your legal needs are as unique as your business. That’s why we have created three different retainers depending on your size and the depth of support you require. Whichever retainer you choose, you will have regular contact with our legal professionals, who will have the right type and level of expertise to match your challenges, allowing you to focus on your key strategic issues.

What retainer is right for my organisation?

“Business” is ideal if you don’t need constant support but would like a regular, go-to adviser.

“Enterprise” is suited to larger businesses with regular needs. We can be your sole legal adviser or can provide extra support to your existing team e.g. we can free up your existing legal team to focus on strategic matters.

What our clients say

Getting regular assistance from lawyers with in-house legal experience has tangible benefits including responsiveness, quality and commercial understanding of risk relative to the total cost. There are times when I don’t know where my legal department ends and LOD Legal begins. That works for everyone, especially the client.”
