04 / NOTES & PERSPECTIVESSomething
Something
to think about.
A few starting points for the
conversations worth having.
A GOOD PLACE TO STARTA few things
A few things
you might ask.
What can I speak to Stonebay about?
Trade marks, copyright, confidential information, IP disputes and commercial IP agreements. A short overview of your matter helps frame the first conversation.
What should I prepare?
A brief summary, the parties involved, your objectives and any important dates. Please keep sensitive documents back until initial checks are complete and a secure way to share them is agreed.
How are fees and scope agreed?
The nature of your issue, the work required and your objectives inform the proposed scope. Scope and applicable costs are agreed before work begins.
Does an enquiry mean you act for me?
No. An initial enquiry allows the firm to consider the matter and complete conflict checks. Representation begins only after the firm agrees to act and engagement terms are confirmed. This concept’s enquiry form is a demonstration and sends nothing.
