How we charge
smwlaw does not charge by the hour. There is no time recording
system. We believe in compensation for value added. Charges are
therefore always by agreement, which can be concluded in advance of, during, or after transactions. smwlaw will share transaction risk and is happy to partner its clients on projects.
