How it works
Three steps, and none of them is a sales call.
- 01
Consultation
Ninety minutes with a partner, at no cost, to establish whether we are the right people. Frequently we are not, and we say so.
- 02
Engagement
A written scope and a fixed fee. We do not bill by the hour, because an hourly fee rewards the slower answer.
- 03
Counsel
One partner, named, for the life of the relationship. Nothing is handed to an associate you have not met.
What's included
Everything below is in every tier.
A named partner
The person in your first meeting is the person for the duration. There is no team behind a curtain.
Fixed fees
Agreed in writing before work starts. Re-quoted in writing if scope changes.
Three disciplines
Legal, financial and medical counsel that talks to itself, in one building.
No hourly billing
You will never receive an invoice with six-minute increments on it.
Discretion
No client list, no case studies, no logos on this page.
Continuity
Succession planned within the practice, so a retirement is not your problem.
Features
Luxe, in four parts.
Finance
Structuring, succession and the unglamorous discipline of making sure the arrangement still works in fifteen years.
Medical
Independent second opinion and care coordination, with no relationship to any provider we might refer you to.
The Art of Restraint
One hundred and twenty clients. We turn down more work than we accept, which is the only way the first four promises stay true.
The work

In their words
Three people who pay for this.
They told me at the first meeting that they were the wrong firm for the matter, and recommended someone else. They have had everything else I own since.
A fixed fee changed the conversation entirely. I stopped calculating whether a question was worth asking.
Having the legal and the medical counsel in one building mattered enormously in a year when both were needed at once.
Questions
The four we are asked most.
Why is there no client list?
Because discretion is not a feature we advertise, it is a condition of the work. Nobody who has instructed us appears on this page, including the people quoted above.
How do fixed fees work?
We quote against a written scope before any work begins. If the scope moves we re-quote in writing and you decide. There is no hourly rate to fall back on.
Do you take new clients?
A small number each year. The consultation exists to establish fit honestly, and we decline more often than we accept.
What happens if my partner retires?
Succession is planned inside the practice and introduced years ahead. Average partner tenure is twenty-two years, so this happens rarely and never suddenly.
A practice offering legal, financial and medical counsel to a deliberately small list.
Start today, or read everything first. Both are fine.
