The traditional hourly-billing model was designed for law firms, not for their clients. Founders, CEOs and in-house teams routinely tell us the same thing: legal spend is one of the last remaining line items in the business where nobody can predict the number until the invoice arrives. That is a problem worth fixing.

Why hourly billing fails modern businesses

Hourly billing rewards inefficiency. The longer a matter takes, the more the firm earns — and the more painful the eventual invoice. It also discourages clients from picking up the phone, which is precisely when they most need advice. In fast-moving businesses, that friction can cost more than the fees themselves.

What affordable legal really means

  • Fixed-fee packages for common IP and contract work, so you know the total cost before you engage
  • Clear scope statements that spell out exactly what is included and what is not
  • Direct access to the lawyer handling your file — not endless handoffs to juniors
  • Practical, actionable advice rather than pages of caveats
  • Predictable timelines with milestone updates

How we structure our work

At Sayadi Law we publish fixed fees for our core services — trademark clearance searches, EU and US trademark applications, contract drafting, monitoring — so budgeting is straightforward. For ongoing work, we offer retainer arrangements that give you a predictable monthly cost and priority access. Complex, one-off matters are scoped and quoted up front, in writing, before anything starts.

How Sayadi Law can help

At Sayadi Law we specialise in intellectual property protection tailored to your industry. We register trademarks, patents and designs internationally, monitor for infringement, and draft the contracts that turn your IP into a durable business asset. Our fixed-fee packages give you predictable pricing and direct access to the lawyer handling your file — no billable-hour surprises.
