Legal Consultancy

Clients can benefit from legal consultancy at the initial stages, even if they believe they are certain about the legal services they require.

Consultancy means advisory services in the nature of providing guidance, which includes legal factual clarification and analysis, progress report, perusal of documents etc., all to be provided via email, telephone call, face to face meeting (if needed) or by teleconference by any member of RC. Consultancy mostly helps narrow down the legal issues involved and helps clients to determine the next course of action. The information exchanged during consultancy sessions is for navigational purposes or guidance on the next steps to take.

Important Note: Consultancy does not constitute legal opinion (which provides legal interpretation based on assumed facts) or encompass services such as drafting/vetting agreements, drafting legal notices, or preparing pleadings.

Consultancy fee is calculated based on each unit. One unit lasts for 20 minutes. Total consultancy may continue for more than one unit. Based on seniority, face to face/teleconference consultancy fee are as follows:

• Head of Chambers: Tk. 4000 / USD$45 per unit
• Divisional Heads: Tk. 3500 / USD$40 per unit
• Department Head/Deputy Head of Dept.: Tk. 3000 / USD$35 per unit
• Senior Associate: Tk. 2500 / USD$30 per unit

Complimentary Consultancy: Reputed corporate and multinational clients are entitled to one initial consultancy session free of charge.

Subsequent Services: Clients may require further legal consultancy even after selecting other pricing options (e.g., hourly fees, project-based fees). However, legal consultancy fees are typically included within the overall fee for flat/fixed/package (bundled) fee arrangements.

Disclaimer: The information exchanged during consultancy sessions should not be considered legal advice. Rahman’s Chambers and its lawyers are not responsible for any decisions made based on such information, except for navigational guidance.

Legal Services

Legal services encompass a wide range of professional assistance provided by lawyers, attorneys, and legal professionals. These services aim to guide individuals and entities through the complex legal landscape, ensuring their rights are protected and their interests are upheld. Whether it involves drafting contracts, litigating disputes, arbitration, providing legal advice, or navigating regulatory compliance, legal services play a crucial role in ensuring justice, fairness, and order within society.

Pricing models for these services can vary significantly, ranging from hourly rates and flat fees to pay-as-you-go rates, allowing clients to choose the option that best suits their budget and specific needs. We offer a variety of pricing models to suit clients’ specific needs as follows:

• Project-Based Fee/Flat Fee/Fixed Fee/Bundled Fee/Package: a predetermined fee for a specific project or task with a defined scope. This option is well-suited for predictable matters where the deliverables are clearly outlined, such as drafting a simple contract or conducting a routine legal review. Project-Based Fees can often include fees, expenses, and taxes, providing clients with upfront cost certainty. However, this pricing structure may not be feasible for complex or uncertain cases where the scope of work is difficult to predict accurately.
• Hourly Fee (team hourly fee): A flat hourly rate for a team of lawyers with varying levels of experience, ensuring consistent quality and efficient service delivery. This ideal for complex legal matters requiring the coordinated efforts of multiple lawyers with diverse expertise, such as those involving unpredictable scopes, multiple legal areas, or a need for consistent service and efficiency.
• Hourly Fee (individual hourly fee) refers to individual hourly rates of individual lawyers with different years of experience and expertise.  Client may choose to work with a individual lawyer in a particular complex assignment or project rather than with a team. Normally for a single assignment of short duration, this is possible. For multiple transactions or complex cases demanding a team work this option cannot be offered.
• Capped Hourly Fee: Billed hourly, but with a pre-agreed maximum fee for the entire project. This provides budget certainty for clients while allowing for flexibility in the scope of work.
• Pay-As-You-Go (Unbundled Services): Clients pay only for specific tasks or services, such as drafting individual documents or court appearances. This is ideal for clients who require limited legal assistance.
• Daily Rate: The Daily Rate pricing model involves a fixed fee for a team of lawyers’ work on a specific day, simplifying billing by eliminating the need for detailed time tracking. This model is suitable for projects with defined scopes but flexible timelines, or ongoing engagements with predictable daily involvement from the team. The Daily Rate model emphasizes the value delivered by the team within a given workday, rather than strictly adhering to a specific number of hours worked. The core principle is that the client pays for the team’s collective availability and expertise for a specific day, rather than a set number of hours worked by each individual lawyer. This allows for adjustments based on the project’s specific needs and the team’s overall availability. Some days might require more intensive collaborative work, while others may involve individual research or client consultations, all contributing to the overall value delivered by the team within the daily rate.
• Monthly retainer: A retainer agreement establishes a working relationship between a client and a lawyer or law firm, securing the lawyer’s services for a specific period . A key benefit of a retainer is that it helps prevent conflicts of interest, ensuring the lawyer’s loyalty and protecting client confidentiality. We offer two monthly retainer options: a Consultancy Retainer, ideal for clients needing proactive advice, quick consultations, and strategic planning, covering a set number of hours for monthly guidance. Specific legal services beyond consultation are billed separately at agreed-upon rates. This option provides a lawyer available when needed for advice and guidance. A Comprehensive Legal Services Retainer provides a lump sum of hours for monthly legal services, without a specific ceiling, guaranteeing availability and comprehensive support. This option is perfect for clients with ongoing legal needs, offering peace of mind and a fixed monthly cost. It essentially provides a lawyer available when needed for a broader range of legal services. Both options secure dedicated legal counsel.

Request a Quote: Clients can directly request a customized quote through online forms or by contacting us directly. This option is recommended when clients are uncertain about their specific needs or require a more tailored approach.
