Partner-led corporate advisory and transactional counsel for the matters that need strategy before documents.
Some legal matters require judgment before they can be responsibly scoped — complex, negotiated, high-stakes, securities-sensitive, governance-sensitive, cross-border, investor-facing, and transaction-grade work. Bespoke Advisory & Transactions is the partner-led path for those matters. Where work is repeatable and the facts are clear, Structured Legal Systems are the efficient route instead.
Partner-led
Custom / hourly
Consultation
Not every legal matter should be reduced to a fixed-scope workflow. A standard workflow is appropriate where the facts are clear, the parties are aligned, and the work is repeatable. Bespoke Advisory & Transactions applies where the legal and business issues require judgment before scope can be responsibly confirmed.
That includes matters involving negotiation, investor or counterparty counsel, securities filings, tax-sensitive structuring, cross-border issues, complex governance, founder or shareholder disputes, M&A, strategic transactions, or high-value corporate decisions. In those situations the work is not document preparation — it is legal strategy, issue-spotting, transaction structuring, risk allocation, negotiation support, and implementation.
Each area connects to the practice that governs it — follow a link for the substantive practice depth, or book a consultation to engage the work.
A directional guide to common advisory mandates and how each is engaged. Final scope, fees, and timing are confirmed only after intake, conflict review, and engagement terms. Each matter links up to the practice area that governs it.

Advisory mandates are scoped after Fauri Law reviews the matter, parties, documents, timing, and legal risk. Before work begins, the engagement scope, fee structure, assumptions, exclusions, timing, retainer or payment terms, and Fauri Law's role are confirmed in writing.
Submitting intake or booking a consultation does not create a lawyer-client relationship. Fauri Law must complete conflict review and confirm engagement terms in writing before acting.
Provide basic information about the company, matter, parties, timing, and documents.
Fauri Law reviews whether it can act and whether the matter suits advisory, transactional, structured, or custom support.
Where appropriate, Fauri Law schedules a consultation or requests limited documents to assess scope.
Scope, fee structure, assumptions, exclusions, timing, and payment or retainer terms are confirmed in writing.
Work begins only after engagement terms are accepted and any required payment or retainer is completed.

Bespoke Advisory & Transactions is one of the firm's delivery models. It pairs with the structured offerings and, for what the firm practises, sits under its parent practice area.
The practice area behind this work — what the firm does in governance, financing, M&A, and strategic corporate matters.
For repeatable lifecycle work with clear facts — incorporation, governance, equity, options, and financing readiness at defined scope.
For funds, accelerators, and multi-entity groups that need coordinated infrastructure with bespoke escalation built in.
If your company is facing a financing, negotiation, governance issue, shareholder matter, securities question, commercial transaction, M&A process, cross-border issue, or strategic corporate decision, start with an advisory review — the earlier the judgment, the more options remain.
