Billing Policies and Fee
No unpleasant surprises – that is our policy. We try to ensure that at all times our billing process is transparent and easy to understand. We discuss billing arrangements at the outset of a matter. Whenever it is possible we reach agreement on the fees to be charged in advance. In determining the amount of fees certain considerations are taken into account:
Complexity, difficulty, novelty of the matter
Time and resources spent on a matter
Seniority of the lawyers involved
Urgency
Value of the transaction
Professional scale of fees
Our rates are competitive and we try to ensure that the lawyer or team that works on any assignment is best suited to provide optimum service and the best value for money. In appropriate circumstances, we are prepared to consider the following options:
Contingency or success based fees, retainer fees, fixed or flat fees, capped fees and volume discounts.
