\\ Our Solutions

At Aptus Legal, we believe that clarity in scope and delivery is as important as the legal advice itself.

Our approach is built on transparency, structure and adaptability, ensuring each client is offered clearly defined engagement models and packages aligned with their personal or business goals.

Each engagement begins with a clear scope of work, agreed deliverables and timelines, ensuring predictability and complete visibility from the outset.

Our engagement model is agile and tailored to each client’s needs, ranging from conventional hourly billing to clearly defined packages that offer structure, flexibility and value.

\\ Retainer Support

Our Retainer Packages provide continuous access to high-quality legal support under a structured and predictable model, essentially acting as your in-house legal team as a service.

Retainers are ideal for clients requiring ongoing advice across multiple workstreams, varying from contract reviews to compliance, regulatory updates and corporate governance. This model offers the benefit of an effectively lower hourly rate at a pre-agreed level, reflecting the value of a long-term partnership.

Each retainer defines the number of hours, deliverables and reporting intervals in advance, ensuring transparency, responsiveness and adaptability to your business priorities.

\\ Fixed Services

Certain services follow a defined, repeatable structure. We offer fixed-scope solutions with clearly documented deliverables and timelines. Examples include:

  • Company incorporation and ongoing company administration.

  • IP Package: identifying, registering and safeguarding trademarks, copyrights and other IP assets (domestic, EUIPO, WIPO).

  • Policy Development: drafting internal policies and frameworks tailored to AML, DORA, NIS2, ISO, GDRP and other compliance regimes.

  • Contract Template Drafting: NDAs, employment and consultancy agreements, share option schemes, leases and other core templates. Each template is thoughtfully prepared to balance efficiency with the human insight and legal judgement that no automated AI tool can replace.

\\  Start-Ups & Founders

We support founders from incorporation through growth, offering structured guidance and ready-to-use documentation that evolves with the business. We help start-ups avoid early-stage pitfalls and build for long-term success.

We recognise that budgets are often limited at the beginning, and we see our work with founders as an investment in their future growth. Each package covers the essentials every early-stage company needs, including:

  • Incorporation and onboarding: setting up structure and shareholder alignment

  • Founders’ toolkit: NDAs, consultancy and collaboration templates aligned to the business model

  • Digital launch essentials: website terms, privacy and cookie policies

  • Growth readiness: investment documentation and advisory support on governance and equity.

\\ Hourly Engagements

For clients seeking flexibility without long-term commitment, we offer hourly engagements at competitive hourly rates. This model suits ad hoc legal advice, transactional work, document reviews or specialist input on specific matters.

Even under hourly engagements, each task is scoped in advance to ensure efficiency, clarity and transparency in time and cost. When we have a clear understanding of the scope and timeframes involved, we can also offer a capped fee based on clearly defined parameters and assumptions.

\\ Project-Based Engagements

Our Project-Based Packages are designed for focused, outcome-driven matters such as transaction-specific drafting and negotiation, legal consultancy, policy development or regulatory implementation.

We also assist with licensing and authorisation processes for regulated industries, including fintech, financial services, payments, fund management and investment sectors.

Each engagement starts with a clearly defined objective, scope, deliverables and completion timeline, ensuring an efficient process and accountability at every stage.

\\ Governance, Regulatory & Compliance Outsourcing

We offer ongoing compliance, governance and oversight support for regulated and unregulated entities, delivering independent monitoring, structured reporting and expert regulatory guidance. Each engagement is clearly scoped, ensuring accountability, precision and seamless integration with our clients’ governance structures. Our outsourcing solutions, tailored to each client’s regulatory framework, include:

  • Outsourced DPO and AML/Compliance Officer services

  • Corporate secretarial and governance support, including board assistance and statutory filings

  • Directorship services for eligible clients, offering genuine management and governance value

  • Registered office facilities
