Retainership Arrangement
A retainership arrangement envisages full-time retention of the firm for matters that may be referred. The retainer fee is agreed based on the nature and scope of services required continuously and covers advice, opinions, meetings, and discussions on referrals up to a pre-agreed number of hours every month. Such retention does not cover advice on specialized referrals and any litigious representation, the fee for which is agreed on a case-to-case basis.
Project-Based Retention
A project-based retention arrangement is offered with regard to specific transactions or projects requiring legal assistance and support. The fee for such matters is determined based on the project's complexity, the number of advocates or consultants needed to render the required assistance, the location where the services are required, and other similar considerations.
Fixed Fee Basis
The firm also offers required services for a pre-agreed and fixed fee acceptable to the clients. Although the firm may accept specified referrals requiring opinion on a matter of law, this arrangement is considered most conducive to arbitration or litigation proceedings. The fixed fee may be agreed based on the total scope of work in a contentious matter or on each appearance before the adjudicating authority.
Other Arrangements
MJ Panni & Associates is prepared to consider other arrangements deemed appropriate by the clients.
