How We Charge – Legal Fees Broken Down

You may have heard it before but genuinely, we listen to clients and work with you, in terms of determining the best charging method and structure that best suits your needs. Our legal fees reflect our no nonsense approach.

Fixed Fees

We offer fixed fees for both contentious work and project specific work. If there is a specific issue you need addressing, we can provide a fixed fee.

Monthly Fixed Fee Retainer

Have you ever needed to just run something past a lawyer – We offer a fixed monthly retainer, starting from £150 plus VAT per month for you to seek legal advice on any issue that may crop up. Yep, we’re on hand – without you having to provide ID and money on account in order to open a new file each time you require to get the advice that you need.

Hourly Rates

If you would prefer to pay on a time spent basis, all of our hourly rates incorporate the Government Guideline Hourly Rates as provided for by the Court, based on location and experience of the fee earner involved. Ensuring maximum recoverability for you, in the event that your legal costs are assessed by the Court. You can find the hourly guideline rates here:-

Due to the location of our offices, our hourly rates are as follows depending upon the experience of the fee earner involved:-

Director – Grade A – £255 plus VAT per hour

Associate Solicitor – Grade B – £218 plus VAT per hour

Assistant Solicitor – Grade C – £177 plus VAT per hour

Paralegal – Grade D – £126 plus VAT per hour

NB: – VAT is charged on all fees at the prevailing rate of 20%

Consultancy Rate

Depending upon the services required, we can enter into a Consultancy agreement with you, whereby we work within your business for a fixed and specified amount of time per week or month. By working as a consultant, we can work alongside and become an integral part of your business, providing the service required, especially in terms of our Virtual-In House Complaints Manager, Compliance and Practice Manager and NED services.
