How we Charge for work
We can work on various bases - an hourly rate, fixed fees, capped fees, staged fees, etc. or in more routine matters use an independent costs assessor. We keep everything simple and clear. The approach will depend on the scope of the work. We will discuss what is most suitable in advance.
Our fees are competitive compared with Partners in larger firms offering no superior service or advice. You will also be pleasantly surprised when our accounts show:
No annoying additional charges for petties (photocopying, telephone etc) – in some firms these can add 5% to the bill.
Where in our judgement (very short emails, nominal phone attendances etc) charging is simply unjustified, the line in your itemised bill will simply show No Charge.
The charges on your account will relate to the person to whom you briefed your matter. You won’t see any charges for internal conferencing, or for lawyers who are effectively being trained on your matter.
