Terms of business

Last updated: 5 July 2026

1. These terms

These terms govern every engagement between Adellatis Legal Consultants and a client, together with the written scope we agree for each matter. The written scope prevails if there is any conflict.

2. Our services

We provide unreserved legal consultancy services only (see our Legal & Regulatory Notice). We are not solicitors or barristers and do not provide reserved legal activities. Deliverables are prepared to your instructions and for your use.

3. Scope and fees

Work begins only after you approve a written scope and fee. Fixed fees include revisions within scope; material changes are re-quoted before further work. Hourly work is billed in 6-minute units against an agreed cap. Invoices are payable within 14 days.

4. Your responsibilities

You will provide accurate, complete instructions and documents, and confirm that using our services for your matter is appropriate. For matters requiring regulated advice, you are responsible for instructing a regulated professional; we will flag this whenever we see it.

5. Confidentiality

We keep your information confidential, use it only for the engagement, and run conflict checks before accepting instructions adverse to an existing client.

6. Liability

Nothing limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited. Otherwise, our total liability for an engagement is capped at three times the fees paid for that engagement, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for reliance on deliverables outside the agreed purpose.

7. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
