Services and prices

Every service is a single fixed fee, published here, with a stated turnaround. Nothing is quoted by the hour.

These are the commercial and corporate services I offer to UK businesses, with the fixed fee and turnaround for each. I am Geoffrey Caesar, a solicitor of England and Wales admitted in 2008, acting for businesses across England and Wales. Prices start at £495 for a contract review.

I publish prices because cost uncertainty is the main reason businesses do not take legal advice they need. It is a commercial decision rather than a regulatory requirement, and it means you can budget before you ever contact me.

Contracts and commercial

Priority turnaround, £395. Add it to any service when you email me. I deliver by the end of the next working day for a review, or within two working days for a drafted document, counted from the later of payment and my receiving everything I need. If I cannot meet it, I tell you as soon as I know and refund the priority fee. How priority turnaround works

Every price is a single fixed fee. It does not move unless you ask for something outside the scope described on the service page, and I would quote that separately first.

How to instruct me

  1. Email me. Send me what you need, with any documents, in whatever format you have them.
  2. I confirm the scope and the fee. Usually the same working day, in writing. If a call would help before you decide, I will offer one at no charge. Once you confirm, I complete my checks and send my invoice.
  3. I start work as soon as payment is received. I will be in touch if I need anything further, and I deliver on the stated turnaround, counted from the day I have everything I need.

The price is fixed in writing before anything starts. It does not move afterwards unless you ask me to do something outside the agreed scope, and I would quote that separately first.

Why instruct me directly

You deal with one senior lawyer from first email to final document. The work is done personally, the contact is direct, and the price is published before you ever get in touch.

  • Senior attention as standard. I handle your matter throughout. Nothing is delegated to a trainee.
  • In-house and private practice experience. I know what a clause does to a business six months later, not just what it says.
  • Onboarding that takes one email. Email me, send the documents, get the work. There is no client portal to register with; the checks I need to run happen quickly in the background.
  • Stated turnarounds, met. Most work is delivered in three to five working days, stated up front, and priority turnaround is there when the clock is against you.
  • Fixed prices, published. You know the number before you commit. I publish them because cost uncertainty is the main reason businesses do not take advice they need.

What I focus on

I am authorised to provide all legal services, and I concentrate on the documents a business runs on: drafting, reviewing, advising on and negotiating contracts and other commercial, corporate and employment documents, and advising on disputes about what a contract means or whether it has been broken. That is where my experience counts for most.

Employment work is for employers. I do not take on court proceedings, and I do not hold client money.

Questions I am often asked

Why are your prices higher than a £150 online review?

Because it is a different thing. A £150 review is usually a checklist run over a document by a junior fee earner or a template engine. What you get here is a solicitor of eighteen years standing reading your contract in the context of your business and giving you a recommendation you can act on.

Why are your prices lower than a law firm's?

The practice is deliberately simple: one senior lawyer doing the work personally, with each service priced for what it involves rather than by the hour. That is what makes fixed fees at this level possible.

What if my matter does not fit one of these?

Tell me what it is and I will quote a fixed fee for it. Most commercial and corporate work can be scoped and priced once I have seen it.

How do I pay?

I send an invoice for the published price once the scope is confirmed, and work starts when it is paid.

Can you act for a business outside the UK?

Yes, where the contract is governed by English law, which is common in international commercial contracting. I advise on English and Welsh law only and will say clearly where a question needs local input.

What if I have questions rather than a document?

Email me the question. I will tell you whether it is a quick answer or a piece of work, and if it is a piece of work, I will quote a fixed fee before anything starts.

About me

I am Geoffrey Caesar. I have worked on commercial contracts since 2001, first in industry and then in private practice, so I have sat on both sides of the table: as the in-house lawyer who has to live with the contract, and as the external adviser who drafts it.

  • Solicitor of England and Wales, admitted 2008. SRA ID 483394.
  • Practising as an SRA-regulated freelance solicitor under regulation 10.2(b) of the SRA Authorisation of Individuals Regulations. Practice SRA number 666497.
  • Regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and authorised to provide all legal services, including reserved legal activities.
  • Called to the Bar by Gray's Inn in 2005.
  • Working on commercial contracts since 2001, in-house and in private practice.
  • Acting for businesses across England and Wales.
  • Professional indemnity insurance in place with a limit of £1,000,000 for each claim, with defence costs in addition. Details on request.
  • I do not hold client money.

Two things you should know about instructing a freelance solicitor rather than a law firm. My professional indemnity insurance is not on the SRA's minimum terms and conditions; alternative arrangements are in place instead, and I will give you the details on request. And you can still apply to the SRA Compensation Fund for losses caused by dishonesty or a failure to account for money. Everything else, including the Code of Conduct, the SRA Principles and the Legal Ombudsman, applies to me exactly as it applies to any other solicitor.
