Aravon provides commercial and legal advice. It is not a company formation agent, a business setup company or an immigration consultancy, and does not provide those services. Where you need them, Aravon can work alongside the right providers.

Fractional general counsel

Senior general counsel support, without a full time hire.

Many growing businesses need experienced legal judgement regularly, but not a full time lawyer. Aravon acts as your external general counsel on a flexible monthly arrangement.

You have a lawyer who knows your business, is available when a question or a deal arises, and gives a clear commercial answer.

The level of support is agreed in advance for a predictable monthly fee. Larger pieces of defined work can be priced separately on a fixed fee.

Who it suits

  • Businesses with no in house lawyer that still face regular legal questions.
  • Companies with occasional but significant contracts, transactions or partnerships.
  • Founders who want a lawyer who already knows the business.
  • Businesses that want predictable legal costs.

Fees

Clear fees, agreed before work begins.

Defined work, such as a contract review or a shareholders agreement, is quoted on a fixed fee in advance.

Ongoing support is available on a monthly retainer.

Other work is charged on an agreed basis, with a cap or an estimate wherever possible.
