Legal Consultancy

We offer legal consultancy services on various issues to government institutions, corporates, individuals and development agencies. We are well-equipped with multi-disciplinary expertise, capacity and infrastructure that enable us to produce high quality results with accuracy, efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

OO&K has developed procedures and standards which allow for efficient and complete analysis of legal billings. These procedures incorporate individual review, with an understanding of applicable legal guidelines. In order to perform a legal audit, a complete computer-assisted analysis is performed. We have developed a customized legal audit database, which allows effective consideration of issues. The audit includes analysis of all charges for fees and costs. It also includes preparation of an opinion on relevant schedules illustrating the efficiency or inefficiency with which legal services were performed. Since each audit is unique and fact situation different, a customized approach to each audit is required.

Depending on the requirements of the client, this may include a review of invoices on a line-by-line basis to determine if overstaffing, excessive conferencing, multiple billing for single events, or other general efficiency issues exist.
