Questions
Will you be in chambers?

The service is remote. Visits to chambers in Port of Spain can be arranged when needed.

How do you keep my files confidential?

You control access to your accounts, and we sign a confidentiality agreement before starting. Read our confidentiality policy.

Can I start with fewer hours?

Yes. Most practitioners start on Essential and move up once they see what they can hand over.
