General counselling and retainer services consist of consultations, including legal opinion and contract documentation, in the ordinary, day-to-day course of the client’s operations.  Consultations include advice on pertinent laws, rules and regulations bearing upon corporate, tax, financial, insurance, foreign exchange and labor relations aspects of client’s activities and structure.  Documentation covers the preparation and review of simple agreements involving, among others, conveyancing, distributorship and employment.

Each retainer client is serviced by a team of at least two lawyers with a partner supervising the work.  In assigning a lawyer to a client, the lawyer’s specialization and familiarity with the client and its business are properly considered.
