Every engagement begins with a confidential conversation. The initial consultation is complimentary and without obligation. If we are not the right firm for the matter, we will say so.
Visitors are welcome by prior arrangement. The initial conversation is most often held by phone or video — in-person meetings follow as the engagement progresses.
Engagements are private. The path to the first call is deliberately short.
A short form on this site — your name, organisation, the jurisdictions involved and the shape of the mandate.
Within one business day, a senior Ovata advisor reviews the enquiry and, where useful, sends a short follow-up to sharpen the picture ahead of the call.
A confidential call — in person or by conference call — to understand your objectives and undertake a situational analysis of the jurisdictions, entities and issues involved. Complimentary and without obligation.
Where the matter is a fit, Ovata prepares a written engagement brief, convenes a follow-up meeting with the relevant specialists and licensed partners, and issues engagement documents within five business days.
We do not use AI agents on the phone. Every conversation is with a senior Ovata advisor.
We respond to every enquiry within two working days, usually faster. If your matter is time-critical — a transaction window, a tax-year deadline, a regulatory filing or a programme closure — please say so in the message and we will prioritise the response.
