Fees
Our fees are fixed in advance, where possible - and are always competitive.
Fixed Fees
Most legal advisers charge by the hour; but time-charging rewards and encourages inefficiency. We therefore prefer to work on the basis of a fixed fee where possible, and we will usually be able to give a fixed quote for a particular piece of work in advance.
Where we are not able to offer a fixed fee arrangement, we will keep you appraised of our costs at regular intervals during our engagement.
In any case, you won't have to worry about receiving unexpected bills at unexpected times.
Examples Fees
We have set out below some examples of the fixed fees we may be able to offer for particular pieces of work. These are guidelines only, and any quotes we give will be based upon our estimate of the total amount of work required for the particular job.
