Three Connected Models

One firm, three ways to deliver the work.

Each model serves a different kind of work. The right path depends on the matter’s facts, risk, timing, parties, and objective — confirmed at intake, not assumed in advance.

Bespoke · Custom / Hourly

Bespoke Advisory & Transactions

Senior, partner-led counsel for the work that needs judgment — scoped to the matter, because the facts and negotiation dynamics determine the work.

Intake-confirmed

A short intake, conflict review, and scope assessment confirm the right model — you don’t have to know it in advance.

Scoping

Lawyer-led throughout

Structured work organizes delivery; it does not replace judgment. Every model is lawyer-led.

Engagement

Written terms first

Scope, fee, assumptions, exclusions, and timing are confirmed in writing before work begins.

One Firm, Three Models

The right path depends on the matter, not the brochure.

Some matters need bespoke judgment and negotiation. Many lifecycle events can be handled through defined, lawyer-led workflows. Some organizations need custom infrastructure across several companies at once.

The Routing Principle

What stays partner-led — and what can be structured.

The dividing line is judgment. Some matters need legal reasoning, negotiation, or risk allocation before they can be responsibly scoped; others can be delivered through disciplined, lawyer-led workflows.

Stays partner-led

Bespoke advisory & transactions.

  • financing negotiations, investor counsel comments, and priced rounds;
  • securities exemptions and filings;
  • M&A, shareholder and founder disputes;
  • complex shareholders agreements and governance restructuring;
  • tax-sensitive equity or corporate structuring;
  • cross-border Canada/UAE matters and strategic decisions.

Can be structured

Defined, lawyer-led workflows.

  • incorporation and initial organization;
  • founder governance and founder IP assignment;
  • contractor, confidentiality, and IP documentation;
  • restricted shares and vesting where scope is approved;
  • option plan setup and grant implementation where approved;
  • funding readiness where consultation confirms fit.
Where Matters Route

One intake. The right path for the work.

Common needs and where they route across the three models — directional only, confirmed at intake, conflict review, and scope assessment.

How Engagement Works

Intake determines the right path.

You don’t need to know in advance whether your matter is advisory, structured, or enterprise. The same disciplined process applies to every engagement, across all three models.

Step 01 · 02

Submit intake & conflict review

You provide basic information about the company, matter, parties, timing, and need — or book a consultation if complex; Fauri Law confirms whether it can act.

Step 03

Scope assessment

The matter is assessed for fixed, starting-at, consult-first, ongoing, enterprise, or advisory handling — the routing decision that sets the path.

Step 04

Engagement terms

Scope, fee, assumptions, exclusions, timing, and payment terms are confirmed in writing before anything begins.

Step 05

Work begins

Work begins once the engagement letter is accepted and any required payment or retainer is in place — in whichever model fits the matter.

Do I need to know which model my matter fits?

No. You don’t need to know in advance whether your matter is advisory, structured, or enterprise. A short intake, conflict review, and scope assessment confirm the right path — start with the legal need.

What are the three delivery models?

Bespoke Advisory & Transactions (partner-led, custom or hourly); Structured Legal Systems (lawyer-led workflows on fixed, starting-at, or intake-based terms); and Enterprise, Portfolio & Custom Support (configured across multiple companies). The three connect — structured work can escalate to advisory, and enterprise can combine all of it.

What stays partner-led?

Matters that need judgment before they can be responsibly scoped — financing negotiations and priced rounds, securities exemptions and filings, M&A, shareholder and founder disputes, complex governance restructuring, tax-sensitive structuring, and cross-border Canada/UAE matters.

What can be structured?

Repeatable lifecycle events — incorporation and initial organization, founder governance and IP assignment, contractor and confidentiality documentation, restricted shares and vesting, option-plan setup and grant implementation, and funding readiness — each where scope is approved.

Is structured work still lawyer-led?

Yes. The workflow organizes delivery; it does not replace judgment. Structured work is delivered by a lawyer through defined scope and clear engagement terms.

How do fees differ across the models?

Bespoke advisory is custom or hourly because the facts and negotiation determine the work; structured systems use fixed, starting-at, or intake-based fees; enterprise is a custom configuration with a custom quote. For how each fee model is applied, see Fees & Engagement.

Can a matter move between models?

Yes. A structured matter can escalate to bespoke advisory if it becomes negotiated, securities-sensitive, or complex — for example, a standard funding readiness matter that turns into a negotiated round. Escalation happens under written terms.

How is the right path decided?

By the matter’s facts, risk, timing, parties, and objective — assessed at intake, not assumed in advance. The same disciplined process applies to every engagement across all three models.

What if my matter is urgent or complex?

Book a consultation rather than starting with standard intake. Complex, negotiated, urgent, or strategic matters are better assessed directly so scope and fit can be confirmed quickly.

Does submitting intake create a lawyer-client relationship?

No. Submitting intake does not create a lawyer-client relationship or provide legal advice. Work begins only after conflict review, scope confirmation, written engagement terms, and any required payment or retainer.

Start with the legal need. We’ll confirm the right path.

Whether you need incorporation, founder governance, equity, financing support, ongoing counsel, enterprise infrastructure, or bespoke advisory work, the right model depends on the matter’s facts, risk, and timing. Start with intake, or book a consultation if the matter is complex, negotiated, urgent, or strategic.
