A typical Advisory engagement is up to 10 hours access per calendar month for the minimum Service Fee, on a retained, recurring basis. Additional Time/Duties/Extras/Expenses will be charged in addition and as agreed. Please contact me directly for details of the fee structure.

Engagements are either continually recurring with a three-month notice period for termination or pre-agreed for a full fixed term.

Service Fee is paid in advance for the next calendar month. Additional Time/Duties/Extras are paid arrears. Expenses will be invoiced as they arise.

German VAT/Umsatzsteuer is due on top of the monthly Service Fee, any Additional Time/Duties/Extras provided and on top of net Expenses, if any.

German VAT/Umsatzsteuer is currently 19%.

I recommend 3-hour, face-to-face sessions twice per month, with up to 4 hours available for calls/other research/travel time.

Depending on your preference:

- In person: at your address, at my address, external public venue (shared workspace / cafe / restaurant etc) or external public place.

- Virtual: Video call or voice call.

The agreed venue needs to be appropriate and suitable to have highly confidential discussions.

My preferred engagement is usually on a one-to-one basis. However, we can structure it so that I work with more than one of you (either individually or at the same time), which would be charged accordingly.

Normal German working hours/days.

However, I am there for you on a reasonable basis - to be defined during our initial discussions.

Following Brexit, as a British citizen with full German permanent residency, I can work and live in Germany without limitation. Further information from the German BMI:
