Retainer fees are payable in advance. This advance payment is the primary rationale for the discount we apply to our retainer fees.&nbsp; The retainer fee is based on a discount on equivalent hourly rate-based fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of partnering with us:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of the retainer package, you also get:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A free legal compliance review<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reviewing, updating or drafting of policies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Completion of forms and contracts on your behalf<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A monthly newsletter with updates on legislation and caselaw<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Posters with the Summaries of the EEA, Health and Safety Act and the BCEA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An anonymous reporting mechanism via fax or email.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Law@Work is a dynamic professional services entity that aims to serve clients in the most people-based service industry in the world, being the area of HR, labour law and labour relations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1171","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/law-at-work.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/law-at-work.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/law-at-work.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/law-at-work.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/law-at-work.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1171"}],"version-history":[{"count":24,"href":"https:\/\/law-at-work.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1171\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3109,"href":"https:\/\/law-at-work.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1171\/revisions\/3109"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/law-at-work.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
