Compare legal fees against defined work, assumptions and change triggers. A lower headline quote can cover a substantially different instruction.[1][2]
Understanding the question
Request a staged proposal identifying analysis, drafting, meetings, revisions and regulator interaction. Clarify what is excluded, which external costs apply and who approves extra work. A good scope makes the decision points visible so the project can avoid commissioning later documents before an early structural question is resolved.[1][2]
Build the working record
| Consideration | What to establish |
|---|---|
| Deliverables | List the decisions and documents included. |
| Assumptions | Record product facts, jurisdictions and expected revisions. |
| Change control | Set how additional work is authorised and priced. |
Put it into practice
If the proposal assumes a single issuer but the project later adds a fund, the parties should recognise the scope change before drafting continues.
