A little clarity goes a long way.
Answers to common questions about getting started, working with the office, private notary services, and applying for pro bono support.
How do I arrange a consultation?
Complete the short consultation form or contact the office on WhatsApp. Tell us the general nature of your matter and your preferred contact details. The team will discuss availability and any documents needed before confirming an appointment.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
A short timeline, relevant agreements, correspondence, payment records, and any court notices are a useful starting point. Tell us immediately about an upcoming hearing or deadline. The office will confirm any additional documents needed.
Can I contact the firm before I know which service I need?
Of course. Explain the situation in your own words. The team can help identify the type of support that may be appropriate.
How are legal fees agreed?
Fees depend on the nature, complexity, and scope of the matter. The office will discuss the proposed scope and fees before you decide whether to proceed. Please ask about consultation fees when arranging your appointment.
Does sending an enquiry make me a client?
An initial enquiry does not establish a lawyer–client relationship. The firm must complete the necessary checks, confirm that it can assist, and agree the engagement with you.
Does the firm assist individuals as well as businesses?
Yes. The firm supports individuals, entrepreneurs, investors, and companies with consultations, contracts, disputes, notarisation, recovery, and other services described on this website.
Can I get help with an existing case or judgment?
The office can review the stage of the matter and the available documents, subject to conflict checks and agreement on the work. Include any scheduled hearing or enforcement details when you first contact us.
How will I receive updates about my matter?
The team will agree suitable contact arrangements with you as part of the engagement. Make sure the office has your current contact details and let us know if they change.
What documents do I need for notarisation?
Requirements depend on the document, the parties, and its intended use. Contact the office before visiting so the team can confirm identification, supporting documents, and attendance requirements.
How do I apply for the Abdulrahim pro bono initiative?
Visit the initiative page and complete the application with your contact information, a summary of the issue, and an explanation of why you need assistance. You can review your information before opening WhatsApp to send it to the office for committee consideration.
Does a pro bono application guarantee free representation?
No. Applications are considered by a committee. The office will contact you if further information is needed and confirm whether assistance can be offered and on what terms.
Should I send sensitive documents with my first message?
Start with a brief summary. Avoid sending identity documents, bank details, or detailed evidence in an initial enquiry. The office will advise on the appropriate way to provide documents if needed.
