Legal Consultancy Invitation to Tender
HRL would like to invite all interested consultancies, practices and qualified freelancers to submit their proposals for the Legal Consultancy tender under the FIRNS funding for the delivery of “Joint Ventures for Scalable Community Benefits from Rewilding”.
The purpose of the legal consultancy work is to provide expert business development support to finalize the 5 CJVs business models.
The objectives of the legal consultancy work are to help us develop the following for each CJV idea:
the most suitable CJV structure
the necessary legal documents
the drafts for the relevant shareholder or membership agreements
All CJVs will share the following characteristics:
Based in small rural communities
Combine ecosystem services & natural capital with community prosperity approach
The legal consultancy work will overlap with business and financial modelling to allow cross-team consultations should they be needed and availability for these is an expected part of the tender.
Given the experimental nature of our FIRNS project and its interdisciplinarity, our priority is to engage with a consultancy, practice or a qualified freelancer with experience in:
small-scale businesses & micro-businesses
start-ups and/ or innovative interdisciplinary ventures
local community projects
rural economies & Scottish rural context
ecosystem services (e.g. agriculture, forestry) & natural capital ventures (e.g. soil carbon credits)
community engagement & community prosperity
