Terms of Engagement
Our Standard Engagement Terms
Last updated: May 2026 · Applicable to all Novara A.P. mandates
Scope & Application
These Terms of Engagement govern the provision of advisory services by Novara A.P. and its affiliated entities. They are incorporated into each engagement letter unless expressly varied in writing. In the event of conflict between an engagement letter and these terms, the engagement letter shall prevail.
By instructing Novara A.P., you agree to be bound by these terms. These terms should be read together with any applicable jurisdiction-specific addenda, which will be provided as part of your engagement documentation.
Services
Novara A.P. provides legal advisory, deal advisory, and strategy advisory services to sophisticated corporate clients. The precise scope of services for any mandate is set out in the relevant engagement letter. Services may be provided by:
-
Qualified solicitors and lawyers employed by or engaged by Novara A.P.
-
Deal advisers and transaction support specialists
-
Novara Global Capital VCC, for regulated capital markets advisory and fund services
-
Strategic advisers and sector specialists on a collaboration basis
We will inform you at the outset of any mandate which entity or individuals will have primary responsibility for your matter.
Fees & Billing
Novara's fees are agreed on a mandate-specific basis and are not subject to published rate cards. Fees may be structured as: fixed fee arrangements for defined scope work; retainer arrangements for ongoing advisory relationships; success-based or hybrid fee structures for transaction work; or time-and-materials arrangements where scope is variable.
Fees are invoiced in accordance with the terms set out in the engagement letter. Invoices are payable within 30 days unless otherwise agreed. Novara reserves the right to charge interest on overdue amounts at the rate applicable in the jurisdiction of the invoicing entity.
Disbursements and third-party costs incurred on your behalf (including filing fees, travel, translation, and counsel fees) are charged at cost and will be itemised.
Confidentiality & Legal Privilege
Novara treats all client communications and mandate materials as strictly confidential. Our lawyers are bound by professional duty of confidentiality in all applicable jurisdictions. Where legal professional privilege applies, we will maintain and protect it.
We will not disclose client confidential information to third parties except where required by law, regulatory obligation, professional conduct rules, or with your prior written consent.
Novara's AI-augmented tools operate under a data segregation and zero-retention architecture. Client documents and data processed through our platform are not used to train AI models and are not accessible to third parties.
Conflicts of Interest
We conduct conflict checks prior to accepting any new mandate. Where an actual or potential conflict is identified, we will notify you and discuss how it may be managed or resolved. In certain circumstances, we may be unable to act.
You agree to provide us with sufficient information to enable a thorough conflict check. Material changes in the identity of counterparties during a matter should be notified to us promptly.
Liability
Our liability to you for any claim arising from or in connection with our services is limited to the amount of fees paid for the specific matter giving rise to the claim, unless a higher cap is agreed in the engagement letter or required by law.
We are not liable for indirect, consequential, or special losses, or for any loss of profit, revenue, opportunity, or goodwill, howsoever arising.
Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death, personal injury, or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by applicable law. Our professional indemnity insurance coverage details are available on request.
Termination
Either party may terminate an engagement with reasonable written notice. We may suspend or terminate services immediately in limited circumstances, including: non-payment of invoices; a material conflict arising that cannot be managed; a change in circumstances that prevents us from acting in your best interests; or where continuation would breach applicable law or professional rules.
On termination, all outstanding fees for work completed become immediately payable. We will provide you with all documents and materials to which you are entitled, subject to our lien for outstanding fees.
Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These terms are governed by Singapore law unless the engagement letter specifies otherwise. Any dispute arising from or in connection with our services shall first be referred to the senior partners of both parties for resolution. If not resolved within 30 days, disputes shall be finally resolved by arbitration under the SIAC Rules, with the seat in Singapore.
Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction.
