Transparent Pricing Creating Unequalled Value.
We have removed costly overheads without compromising the quality of the lawyers. Together the lawyer and the client set the rate – no opaque middleman taking an undisclosed margin.
We Specialise In Legal Solutions.
With 40+ years combined commercial and legal experience, our team facilitates the process end-to-end, ensuring all placements are straightforward and hassle-free.Over the past five years, companies without an in-house lawyer, typically mid-sized organisations, have approached us for legal services on an ad-hoc and flexible basis. Our Dovetail service is not just for large companies with in-house legal teams.
Mid-sized organisations highly value our Dovetail lawyers, and have access to the same cost benefits as larger orgnaisations.
They Are Dissatisfied With Their Current Legal Advice.
Because mid-sized organisations without their own in-house lawyer:
- Are being charged higher legal fees because they often: –
- do not have purchasing power to negotiate lower rates from traditional law firms
- do not have an internal lawyer to liaise with external law firms to ensure they only undertake necessary work and keep bills within scope
- Receive uncommercial and/or late advice by traditional law firms who favour larger clients
One study undertaken by NAB has since confirmed many of these sentiments – The Australian Legal Services Industry Survey
They Like The Service That Our Freelance Lawyers Provide.
- The rates are significantly lower, at c.$350 p/h or $1,400 for an eight-hour day
- They are top senior lawyers confident in their ability
- They have direct experience in the client’s industry, often having worked as an in-house lawyer for a similar company
- Their advice is prompt and commercial
