Fees
No hidden rates: a clear estimate before we start and the candour to tell you what to expect.
In legal services, uncertainty about the cost worries clients almost as much as the matter itself. That is why we handle fees transparently: before accepting an engagement we explain what we will do, how we bill it and a realistic estimate, in writing.
The first step is a no-obligation initial consultation. We assess your situation, tell you frankly whether we can help and how, and propose the most suitable billing arrangement before you take any decision.
We are flexible: we adapt the arrangement to the client's needs and to each matter, without undervaluing the work. These are the usual options, which we combine where it makes sense:
A set price, agreed for the matter or by stages, where the scope can be defined. It gives you certainty from the start.
Fees based on the time worked, with a prior estimate, in open-ended matters or those of uncertain duration.
An advance payment at the start of the engagement, applied to fees and costs as the work progresses.
A periodic fee for companies that need continuous legal support.
Where the nature of the matter allows, part of the fee is linked to the outcome, with an advance on account at the start.
Every matter is different: the fee depends on the complexity, the stage, the urgency and the dedication it requires. That is why we prefer to look at it with you before giving a figure. A serious estimate is worth more than a generic rate.
Tell us about your situation and we will tell you, frankly, how we can help.
