Seconda, collective intelligence to elevate your legal expertise
Tailored support for each of your matters
1.
To begin, you will always has an exchange with a partner.
The purpose of this conversation: to understand the context of your matter, identify your needs and understand your constraints, so we can tailor our support as precisely as possible.
This support may take the form of:
-
a fully drafted legal opinion,
-
a summary note (memo, bullet points),
-
a review of a deed or pleadings (annotations, proposed additions or amendments),
-
a reinforcement of arguments,
-
the drafting of a contractual clause,
-
or any other format suited to your need.
We can act on a single point of law, on an overall situation, or on a flow of matters raising a common issue, in both advisory work and litigation.
2.
Then, we select the Secondant(s) according to your needs and prepare our proposal with them
For each matter, we build a team made up, as needed, of specialists from several disciplines and complementary profiles of lawyers and academics.
Note that the number of Secondants does not increase the cost of the service. On the contrary, each profile is chosen for its targeted expertise, which helps optimise the matter's budget.
3.
We get back to you with a tailored support proposal.
Our proposal systematically includes a maximum fixed fee, the deadline, and the profiles who will work on your assignment.
We will discuss this proposal with you as much as necessary and, if needed, with your clients.
4.
Throughout the processing of your case, your main contact will be a Seconda partner.
Our aim is to manage the entire client relationship so that the Secondants can focus on the legal aspects. However, if the matters requires it, exchangess can be arranged with them.
And if an unforeseen issue arises during the assignment, we will stop and and inform you immediately.
Then, you can either choose to handle it yourself or we will send you a supplementary proposal.
5.
Every deliverable is signed by Seconda, after review and validation.
All work undergo critical review by a partner. And when the subject matter falls outside the partners' area of expertise, another Secondant will systematically challenge it and scientifically guarantee the work produced.
Our work has in common the "Seconda tone", our know-how carefully built matter after matter: taking the time to be concise and delivering work that is as rigorous and well-sourced as it is committed and operational.
The key takewat: our agile approach is at your service, to support you in handling with all your complex questions.
And if you need concrete examples to better understand how we work, we asked some clients to tell you about their experience with us.
