Reduce consulting and legal costs: professional services under control
We negotiate fees, hourly rates and framework contracts with your consulting, law and audit partners. The professional work of your advisors remains untouched.
Why fees are rarely questioned
- Hourly rates are accepted because the engagement is convincing on the merits.
- Engagements run without a framework contract, discount tier or cost cap.
- The mix of junior and senior hours is not agreed.
- Expenses, travel costs and ancillary services are unregulated.
- Projects extend without being renegotiated.
What we optimise in professional services
- Management consulting: day rates, team composition, milestones
- Law firms: hourly rates, cost caps, framework agreements
- Audit and tax advisory: fees and additional services
- Engineering and IT service providers: hourly rates and qualification levels
- Process: engagement, approvals, invoice review
Five levers for lower fees
Negotiate rates and qualification mix
Not every hour needs a partner – the mix determines the invoice.
Agree cost caps and milestones
Budgets become binding, add-ons require justification.
Framework contracts with tiers
Volume across several engagements brings better terms.
Regulate expenses and ancillary costs
Travel costs, flat rates and ancillary services belong in the contract.
Check invoices against proof of performance
Hours, rates and services are reconciled with the quote and evidence.
How your project works
Initial call and documents
You provide framework contracts, engagement and quote documents as well as fee invoices. Your effort: a few hours.
AI-supported analysis
We analyse contracts, volumes and prices and compare them against benchmarks.
Negotiation by experts
In coordination with you, we negotiate with your consulting, law and audit partners.
Implementation and control
The new terms are fixed contractually. We check that they actually reach your invoices.
You pay only a share of the savings realised – no fixed costs, cash-positive from day 1.

renegotiate.ioFrequently asked questions about consulting and legal costs
Do you also negotiate with law firms?
Yes, via framework agreements, hourly rates and cost caps. The mandate relationship and the substantive advice remain untouched.
Does the quality of advice suffer?
No. We negotiate prices and terms, not the scope of service.
Does this also work for ongoing projects?
Yes, via renegotiation and review of the invoices.
What does the fee check cost?
Nothing. Savify works 100 % success-based: we receive a share of the savings realised. If there are no savings, there are no costs for you.
