Is there such a thing as having a lawyer on standby and if so how are the payments arranged?
The term usually used is "on retainer." A retainer is basically a fee paid up front for the services of a lawyer. The details vary, but usually it works something like this: The client arranges with the lawyer to represent him in either a specific legal matter (with details to come later) or just in general (as needed). The client pays the lawyer some amount of money up front. When/if the client actually uses the lawyer's services, the cost is deducted from the amount already paid. When the costs of the services approach the amount of the retainer, the lawyer and the client must reach some other arrangement. Should the client NOT use the services of the lawyer, the retainer fee is (usually) considered refundable. What you're describing sounds like something else, since the payments are made up front in a typical retainer agreement.
