Though many firms prefer to charge hourly rate for their services, we endeavour to offer our clients a fixed cost wherever possible as we consider it more affordable and also helps the client to budget appropriately. It reduces complaints for unexpected and hidden charges and leave clients more satisfied with our services. However, please note that due to complexities of most cases, fixed fee would not be suitable and hourly rates would be more appropriate. But we must always inform you before we commence so that you can know what to expect.
Unfortunately, many people are not aware that their Home and Content insurance may be used to offset some or all of their legal costs. It is necessary to always check your insurance policies to know if your insurers can pay your legal costs. However, please note that the cost of our initial assessment would be paid privately as insurers usually step in after you have issued a claim.
We have made our fee tables very easy to understand. however, we consider it necessary to guide you on how to view and understand it.
The tables contains four columns: Application/Appeal, Description, Service and fee.
1st Column: This relates to the name or the type of Application which the fee relates to
Description: A very brief description of the Application or Appeal. You can click the description if you want to read and understand the purpose of the Application or Appeal.
Our Service: This is where we briefly explain the service we are going to provide to you for paying our fee.
Please note that our fees are exclusive of disbursements.
Fee: This is the fee you are going to pay for our service. If no amount is stated, it means that the matter can only be charged on our hourly rate.
Fixed fee is a process whereby we inform you in advance how much you are going to pay for our services. Example is if make an immigration application for you, we can tell you how much it would cost. Even if we spend more hours doing the work, you would not be required to pay more than we have quoted you. However, note that if we are de-instructed before end of the matter, you would still be required to pay the agreed fee.
Hourly rate is a process whereby we do not inform you in advance how much you matter would cost rather we calculate our fees per every minute/hour we spend on your matter. Example is if we are instructed for a Child Arrangement Order, we cannot be able to tell you how much it would cost in advance. We would agree with you on how you want to be paying as the matter progresses. Our fee calculation would end at the exact time we stopped working on your matter.
Disbursement is any payment made to us for the purpose of off-setting costs in relation to a client's matter.
Examples are: Application Fees, Court Fees, Counsel Fees, Expert Fees etc.
These payments are not ours and are not included in our fees. We are obliged to obtain receipts from the payees on behalf of our clients.
WE ARE REQUIRED BY THE SRA TO PUBLISH SOME OF OUR FEES. HOWEVER, FOR THE SAKE OF TRANSPARENCY, WE HAVE DECIDED TO PUBLISH ALL OUR FEES TO ENABLE YOU MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION BEFORE INSTRCTING US.
