Note: names of clients or details of projects are not being disclosed for confidentiality reasons!
These days, A-L is busy acting as project consultant to some dev. sec organisations bidding for international grants!! Of course, A-L is involved right from conceptualising the project after getting the broad framwork from the client and creating and collating the documentations. These projects are distant cousins of large, capital intensive infrastructure/other projects where project finance divisions of law firms take care of the documentation aspects! Largely, big NGOs have being doing this on their own but, it is a niche market that A-L wants to break into. The biggest problem which I am facing rt. now is evolving a constant/fixed fee structure for such projects! Now, I cannot say that fee will be chargeable as a commission on succesful reciept of grants (or approval) because that would risk voilating my Bar Council rules. Alternatively, placing a time rated fee schedule to the client will not be suitable as my targfet segment are unlikely to have the capacity to commit funds on projects that they do not have! So, trying to figure out a mutually convenient solution...So, as of rt now, A-L is taking it forward project by project! but hopefully, a stable structure will be put in place soon. Of course, that is subject to ideas!!!
Anyways, the woods are dark and deep, and A-L has deadlines to meet, and I got tonnes to write before I sleep ..........
