Services and prices

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

See prices

These are the commercial and corporate services I offer, each with its fixed fee and turnaround. Prices start at £495 for a contract review, and every price includes VAT where it applies.

You can see what a piece of work costs, and how long it takes, before you contact me. That means you can budget for legal advice as you would for anything else your business buys, and decide in your own time whether to go ahead.

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

More detail: contract review, review of an AI-drafted contract, terms and conditions, SaaS and technology contracts, consultancy and contractor agreements.

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 will quote that separately first.

If what you need is not on the list

The list covers the work I am asked for most often, but it is not the limit of what I do. Commercial and corporate work does not always divide neatly into services, and a good deal of what I am instructed on would not appear on anyone's price list.

Tell me what you need in a few lines and I will quote a fixed fee for it, usually the same working day. The quote is free and there is no obligation to go ahead.

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.

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 figure before you commit, and it does not move unless the scope does.

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 commercial contracts and company documents. That is where my experience counts for most.

I do not act in disputes or take on court proceedings, and I do not hold client money.

Questions I am often asked

Do you ever charge by the hour?

No. Everything is a fixed fee agreed before work starts. There are no hourly rates, no six-minute units, and no invoice that arrives larger than expected.

What if the work turns out to be bigger than expected?

The fixed fee stands. If the scope itself changes, or the matter is materially different from the information I was given, I will tell you before going any further and we will agree a revised figure. I will not do extra work and bill you for it afterwards.

Is there a charge for a quote?

No. Confirming the scope, the fee and the delivery date costs you nothing, and you pay only once you decide to go ahead.

How do I pay?

I send an invoice for the fixed fee once you confirm the scope, and work starts when it is paid.

Are the prices inclusive of VAT?

Yes. Where VAT applies, it is included.

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 the law of England and Wales only, and I will say clearly where a question needs local input.

What if I have a question 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.
