Practical information about the Hawkfields Legal Network and how professional collaboration works.
01What is the Hawkfields Legal Network?
Hawkfields is a professional network that helps independent lawyers and law offices connect, collaborate and extend their capabilities. It facilitates access to local assistance, additional capacity, specialist expertise and experienced professionals in Portugal and internationally.
02Who can contact Hawkfields?
Independent lawyers, law offices and other legal professionals may contact Hawkfields to explore a particular matter, offer their expertise or discuss a possible professional collaboration. You do not need to have a fully developed proposal before contacting us.
03How can Hawkfields support my practice?
Depending on your requirements, Hawkfields can explore local assignments, delegated work, additional capacity, specialist collaboration, international support and access to senior professionals. The network may also help lawyers explore practice development, broader service capabilities and longer-term succession or transition opportunities.
04Can Hawkfields assist with local, specialist or international matters?
Yes, subject to the location, nature of the matter and availability of a suitably qualified professional. Support may include local procedural assistance, specialist legal input, cross-border coordination or the sourcing of appropriately qualified independent experts and authorised providers.
05Will I retain my client relationship and professional independence?
Yes. The originating lawyer ordinarily remains the client’s trusted point of contact and retains control of their own practice, pricing, branding and client relationship. The scope and responsibilities of every collaboration are agreed separately for the particular matter.
06How are collaborating professionals selected and matters arranged?
Hawkfields works through appropriately vetted independent lawyers, experts and professional providers. Each proposed collaboration is considered according to relevant qualifications, experience, location, availability, conflicts and the requirements of the matter. Scope, responsibility, confidentiality, fees and other terms must be agreed before work begins.
07Is there a membership fee or any guarantee of work?
There is no joining fee, membership fee or annual subscription for participating in the Hawkfields Legal Network. The network does not guarantee any volume of work, referrals or particular result. Each opportunity is considered independently, and any commercial arrangement is agreed on a matter-by-matter basis.
08How do I start a conversation with Hawkfields?
Complete our contact form or contact us directly through WhatsApp. Briefly tell us what you would like to explore, whether you require assistance or wish to offer your experience to the network.
Making contact creates no obligation. A member of the core team will respond to discuss whether there may be a suitable way to collaborate.
