The terms, in language you should not need help with.
These apply once we agree to work together. They are also worth reading before, because nothing in them should surprise you after the rest of the site.
Last updated 17 August 2026.
What you are buying
Frontier Counsel. Twelve months of private counsel: a monthly session of three hours, access between sessions, two longer sessions in the year, and a written summary after each session. It is a relationship, not a course, and there is no curriculum to complete.
Frontier Session. One or two days on one decision, with preparation beforehand and a written summary afterwards. Fixed scope agreed in writing before we start.
I hold a maximum of eight counsel relationships at once. That cap is a term of this agreement rather than a marketing line: it is what makes the between-session access real.
Fees and payment
Frontier Counsel is €18,000 to €24,000 a year at the founding rate, set within that band by scope when we agree it. Frontier Session is €4,500 to €7,500, fixed before the work starts.
Fees are quoted and invoiced in euro, exclusive of any VAT that applies. Invoices are payable within 14 days. Counsel can be invoiced annually or quarterly in advance, your choice, and choosing quarterly does not change the price.
If you join at the founding rate, you keep it for as long as the relationship continues, including through any increase to new clients. That is a commitment on my side, and it is the reason founding pricing is worth taking.
Travel and accommodation for sessions held away from your office are charged at cost, agreed in advance, and never marked up.
Moving a session, and missing one
Move a session whenever you need to. Things come up at your level more than at most, and a policy that punishes you for running a company would be absurd. Give me what notice you can and we will find another slot in the same month where one exists.
A session that cannot be moved within the month is not carried forward and not refunded. Twelve sessions a year is the shape of the relationship, and the value is in the rhythm rather than in the count.
If I have to move a session, I find the replacement and I work around your diary rather than mine.
Ending it
You can end a counsel relationship at any time, in writing, with 30 days' notice. I invoice for the months used including the notice period, and refund the balance within 14 days. There is no penalty and I will not ask you to sit through a conversation about why.
I can end it on the same terms. If I think it has stopped being useful, I will say so at the six month point rather than quietly running out the year.
Either of us can end it immediately if the other seriously breaches these terms.
Confidentiality and conflicts
Everything said between us is confidential, in both directions, during the engagement and permanently after it. The practical detail of how that is held, what is written down and what is destroyed, is on the privacy page, and it forms part of these terms.
If a conflict of interest arises between this relationship and any other engagement I hold, I will tell you at the point it arises and you choose what happens next. I will not hold both sides of one.
I may work with leaders at other companies in your sector. I will tell you if I take on someone whose interests are directly opposed to yours, without naming them, and you can end the relationship on the terms above if you are not comfortable with it.
If you want a mutual non-disclosure agreement signed before the first session, ask and I will sign a reasonable one.
What this is not
This work is counsel and coaching. It is not legal advice, not financial or investment advice, not tax advice, not accounting advice and not psychotherapy or any other clinical service. Where a decision needs one of those, get one, and I will say so when I think you should.
Every decision remains yours. I have no authority to act for you, sign anything, or direct anyone in your organisation, and nothing said in a session creates an obligation on you to do it.
Because the decisions are yours, I do not accept liability for their outcomes, for business losses, lost profit, lost opportunity or indirect loss. Where liability cannot be excluded by law, it is limited to the fees you have paid me in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.
No outcome is guaranteed, by me or by anyone honest doing this work.
The rest of it
Your material. Anything you bring stays yours. Anything I write for you during the engagement is yours to use inside your organisation. Frameworks and materials I bring with me stay mine, and you are welcome to use them in your own work.
Changes. These terms can only change for an existing engagement by written agreement between us. A new version published here applies to engagements agreed after the date at the top of the page, and never retroactively.
Law. The governing law and jurisdiction are set out in the engagement letter you sign, and will be published here once the registered entity details are finalised. Before either of us starts anything formal, we talk.
Questions. If anything here reads as unfair, say so before you sign rather than after. I would rather change a clause than have it sitting between us. Say so through the contact form.
