Structured legal fees for growing companies.
Clear fees for defined corporate legal work, with scope confirmed before engagement.
Fauri Law provides fee guidance for structured corporate legal offerings where the work can be defined and scoped. Some services are fixed fee where the scope is standard. Others are starting-at, intake-based, or custom because final scope depends on the company’s facts, documents, parties, timing, and complexity.
This page is for fee transparency. It is not a checkout page. All matters require intake, conflict check, scope confirmation, engagement letter, and payment or retainer before work begins.
Four engagement paths — chosen after intake.
Each matter is matched to the engagement path that best fits its scope. Intake is required for every path.
| Fee Label | What It Means | Intake Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed Fee | Standard scope with defined deliverables and exclusions. | Yes |
| Starting At | Base fee; final fee depends on scope review. | Yes |
| Intake-Based | Configured after review of needs and approved scope. | Yes |
| Custom Quote / Hourly | Bespoke advisory, transaction, negotiation, securities, dispute, or complex work. | Yes |
HST, government fees, filing fees, platform fees, registry fees, courier fees, and third-party costs are separate unless expressly included in the engagement letter.

A defined, lawyer-led process from intake to engagement.
Start Your Matter
Begin by starting your matter or booking a consultation through the intake page.
Complete Intake
Submit information about your company, legal need, documents, parties, and timing.
Conflict & Scope Review
Fauri Law completes conflict check and scope review to confirm fit and engagement path.
Engagement Letter
The engagement letter confirms scope, fees, assumptions, exclusions, and payment terms.
Payment or Retainer
Payment or retainer is completed after the engagement letter is accepted.
Work Begins
Work begins after engagement acceptance, required information, and payment or retainer.
Submitting intake does not create a lawyer-client relationship. No lawyer-client relationship is formed until Fauri Law confirms the engagement in writing.
What sits inside and outside fixed fee.
Standard scope is defined and predictable. Matters that move beyond it may require a revised quote or hourly billing.

Outside Standard Scope
- Additional revisions or new instructions.
- Negotiations and third-party counsel comments.

- Tax, accounting, valuation, foreign law, or regulatory advice.
- Litigation, securities filings, and transaction work — unless expressly stated.

Fees — common questions.
Can I pay online immediately?
No. Payment or retainer is addressed only after intake, conflict check, scope confirmation, and engagement letter.
Why is intake required before engagement?
Intake confirms the legal need, client identity, parties involved, conflicts, documents, timing, and whether the matter fits fixed fee, starting-at, intake-based, or custom advisory scope.
Are HST and government fees included?
No, unless expressly stated. HST, government fees, filing fees, registry fees, platform fees, and third-party costs are separate.
What does fixed fee mean?
A fixed fee applies where the matter fits standard scope with defined deliverables, assumptions, and exclusions.
What does starting at mean?
The listed amount is the base fee for a standard starting scope. Final scope and fees are confirmed after intake.
Is Ongoing Counsel Support a subscription?
No. It is structured support configured after intake. It is not unlimited legal access.
Can Workflow Kits be combined?
Yes, subject to intake, scope review, and approval. See the Workflow Kits overview.
Are negotiations or third-party comments included?
No. Negotiations, investor counsel comments, customer counsel comments, counterparty markups, and third-party comments are separate unless expressly scoped.
Does the Funding Kit include securities filings?
No. Securities filings, including Form 45-106F1 filings, are separately scoped unless expressly included in the engagement letter.
What happens if my matter is more complex than standard scope?
Fauri Law may recommend an add-on, revised scope, starting-at fee, custom quote, or hourly advisory engagement. Complex matters are typically handled through Advisory & Transactional Work.
