What makes S.O Legal Consult different from other law firms?
We combine deep specialist expertise with a singular focus on client outcomes. We don't simply advise — we strategise, advocate, and fight. Every mandate is treated as a matter of principle.
What is your fee structure?
Our fee arrangements vary depending on the nature and complexity of the matter. We offer hourly rates, fixed fees for specific tasks, and in appropriate dispute cases, contingency arrangements.
Do I need a lawyer to sign a record deal or publishing contract?
Absolutely. Entertainment contracts contain complex provisions regarding rights, royalties, exclusivity, and term. Without proper legal review, you may inadvertently sign away significant rights.
What can I do if my content has been used without permission?
If your creative work has been used without authorisation, you may have claims for copyright infringement and damages. We can assess your position and take swift action.
How long does trademark registration take?
The timeline varies by jurisdiction. In most territories, you can expect 6–18 months for straightforward applications. We manage the process end-to-end.
What is the difference between a patent and a trademark?
A patent protects inventions for a limited period. A trademark protects brand identifiers — names, logos, slogans. Both are vital, and our IP team handles both comprehensively.
Do I need a solicitor for buying or selling property?
Yes. Real estate transactions involve significant financial commitments. Our property team handles due diligence, contract review, negotiations, and completion — ensuring the process is watertight.
What is the difference between arbitration and litigation?
What is the difference between arbitration and litigation?
How long does a typical commercial dispute take to resolve?
This depends on the nature of the dispute and chosen forum. Simple matters can resolve in weeks through negotiation; complex litigation may take longer. We work for the most efficient resolution.
