Can you advise on an area where the law is still developing?

Yes. We assess existing legislation, regulations, judicial decisions, regulatory guidance and established legal principles to identify the legal framework applicable to emerging issues.

Can you advise my business on a new technology or business model?

Yes. We assess the legal and regulatory implications of the proposed technology or business model and identify relevant corporate, contractual, intellectual property, data and compliance considerations.

Is legal advice available where there is no specific regulation yet?

The absence of a dedicated regulatory framework does not necessarily mean that an activity is legally unrestricted. Existing laws and general legal principles may still apply. We assess the relevant framework and advise on potential legal risks.

Can you help businesses prepare for upcoming regulatory changes?

Yes. We assist businesses in identifying emerging legal requirements and developing appropriate contractual, compliance and risk-management strategies as the regulatory landscape evolves.

Do emerging technology matters require specialised legal advice?

Emerging technologies often involve multiple areas of law simultaneously, including corporate, commercial, intellectual property, data protection, regulatory and dispute-resolution issues. We assess these issues together to provide a practical and coordinated legal strategy.

How are legal fees discussed?

Fees are discussed transparently after assessing the nature, complexity and scope of the matter. The proposed fee structure and professional engagement terms are communicated before commencement of the engagement.
