Questions answered

Why not just use the founder's local solicitor?

Because they've never coordinated a three-jurisdiction filing. This founder needs someone who has.

When is the introducer paid?

On signed engagement letter between founder and solicitor.

Can the solicitor put their own hand up?

Yes — with 'I can do this'. Then there's no introducer in the middle.
