HSH Legal – March Case Highlights
March was another busy and productive month for HSH Legal, as we continued to support clients with practical and results-driven legal advice. From negotiating service fees in foreign jurisdictions to advising on contractual terms and estate agency disputes, we remain committed to delivering strategic and tailored solutions to our clients.
Some of the key matters we assisted with last month include:
🔹 Legal Fee Negotiation in a Foreign Jurisdiction�We advised a client on negotiating legal service fees for a matter in a foreign jurisdiction. Through careful review and strategic discussions, we helped secure a reduction of over £570 (equivalent to a 40% decrease in the total fee) ensuring a more cost-effective solution without compromising on service quality.
🔹 Estate Agent Commission Dispute & Property Re-Marketing�We acted for a client in a dispute with an estate agent over a premature demand for commission. Our work involved drafting a detailed letter challenging the agent’s position, setting out a comprehensive justification for withholding payment, and advocating for the property to be re-marketed at a higher value to better serve our client’s interests.
🔹 Advising on Terms of Engagement �We provided a client with tailored advice on the terms of engagement they had received from their appointed expert. Our analysis highlighted potential risks in the terms as drafted and outlined steps the client could take to mitigate those risks, secure a clearer scope of service, and ensure they received the best possible support.
As we continue to grow, HSH Legal remains dedicated to providing pragmatic, client-focused legal services across a range of practice areas. If you need expert legal advice, get in touch with us today.
