How we contract

Contracting, written once.

Letter of engagement

Nothing chargeable starts without one. Scope, height of the work, days, fees, notice, data, and who signs.

How you are billed

Retainers monthly in advance. Diagnostics 50% on instruction, 50% on delivery. Day-rate and FTC weekly or monthly in arrears as the letter. Payment 14 days. VAT extra if registered.

Term and notice

Retainers: three-month initial term, then 30 days’ written notice either way. FTC: the term in the letter, with a break clause if one is agreed. Diagnostics and projects end on delivery unless extended in writing.

Expenses

UK travel and disbursements at cost, with receipts. Overnight stays only when the work needs them. No mark-up.

Response

Live retainers and FTCs: one working day. 08:30–17:30 UK, Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays. Out-of-hours by agreement on a live brief.

Confidentiality

Standard in the letter. Your NDA if counsel wants one. Conflicts checked before acceptance. Live mandates are not named.

Insurance and data

Professional indemnity held; certificate on request. Personal data under the privacy notice. Your ledgers stay in your systems.

Intellectual property

Your data, your numbers. Methods, templates and tools remain Savastute unless the letter assigns them. You keep every file produced for you.
