Legal Fees

We understand why legal fees can be one of the most worrying aspects of being involved in litigation for clients of whatever income. Parties to litigation are understandably worried about hourly rates, hidden costs, and fees spiralling out of control.

We tailor our fees to give you clarity and peace of mind:

we offer fixed-fees for certain types of legal work so you know exactly what the total cost is going to be from the outset;

if it is an hourly-rates case we give you a clear costs-estimate at the beginning of your case so that you know what work needs to be done and what the total likely cost is going to be; we don't simply quote an hourly-rate and set the timer running;

we stick to that costs-estimate unless there are unforeseen developments or additional work or expenditure is required, in which case we will inform you in good time before your costs-estimate is exceeded and revise the costs-estimate, so that you know exactly what additional work is required and how much it will cost, allowing you to decide whether or not to proceed; we do not incur any additional costs without your prior approval;

we provide you with clear and regular updates as to what work we are doing for you and how much it is costing;

we will invoice you for work regularly so that you can keep a check on how much expense in being incurred and make easy payments rather than being hit with a large bill out of the blue;

even if it is an hourly-rate case, we still offer fixed-fees for some types of court hearing, conferences and standard letters and telephone-calls so that costs are kept down;

we tailor our fees payments to clients' preferences- some clients prefer to pay their legal fees in advance, others prefer to pay monthly or at other intervals.
