Can Cobalt draft a simple will or power of attorney?

Yes. The firm's wills team has reviewed more than 2,000 wills and can draft simple wills, powers of attorney, codicils, and trust agreements, and it says research on a more complicated question can sometimes be turned around within an hour.

I have an unpaid invoice a client won't pay, can Cobalt help?

Commercial dispute resolution is one of the firm's services, covering unpaid invoices, scope creep, and conflicts with customers, vendors, employees, contractors, or shareholders. Cobalt can draft a letter aimed at resolving the dispute, sometimes within an hour.

How does Cobalt charge for legal work?

The firm scopes each matter and bills by the hour or by project rather than charging a licence fee or monthly retainer, and it bills in the currency of the client's jurisdiction. Cobalt describes recent engagements as ranging from about $3,300 for a focused task to $32,000 for a larger matter, though it notes those figures are indicative of past work and not a quote.

Does Cobalt work with clients outside Canada?

Yes. The firm's transaction history includes deals for clients in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany, and it bills work in the currency of the client's jurisdiction.
