SUPPORT WITHOUT OVERREACH
Your professional independence.
Clearly protected.
Administration by mandate. Professional decisions by you.
The service starts with a written administrative mandate defining the tasks, access permissions, confidentiality safeguards, data handling, approval thresholds, reporting and fees. Clients should be informed where required and any necessary permissions must be obtained before their information is shared.
The attorney or advisor approves the legal scope, rates, time entries, fee notes and final invoices. The administrator acts only within the agreed instructions and does not independently advise the client, settle a matter, agree professional fees or take over the practitioner's duties.
Our offered service does not include receiving or holding client or trust funds, operating a trust account, making legal decisions or providing debt-collection or reserved legal services. Client payments remain directed to the professional's authorised payment arrangements. No payment facility is provided on this website.
Administrative charges are separately disclosed and agreed. Any proposed fee-sharing, referral remuneration or collection arrangement must first be checked against the rules applicable to the professional and jurisdiction; this service does not assume such arrangements are permitted.
