Pricing
- Per Hour Rate: Disputes in particular can be unpredictable; you cannot with certainly know how the other side will choose to deal with a matter. For disputes we charge on an hourly rate issuing fully itemised invoices regularly so you can see exactly what action we are taking and when. As the Duke of Wellington said to Lord Uxbridge “Bonaparte has not given me any idea of his projects; and as my plans will depend upon his, how can you expect me to tell you what mine are?”
- Fixed Fee: For advice and commercial matters we offer a fixed fee. This will give you certainty.
- Capped Quote: The work we love the most is complex and requires innovative thinking. Creativity can take time but it is not fair that you bare the risks if it takes longer than expected to find you the best solution. A capped quote will give us the creative licence to explore new options and be creative, whist giving you the certainty that your legal fees won’t run over budget. We always aim to come in under budget on a Capped Quote.
- Retainer Legal Advice – Lawyers are often growing businesses which need the support of a lawyer for their everyday needs. We want to encourage you to pick up the phone and ask a question or have a discussion about your options. We offer two options of retainer, limited or unlimited.
- A limited retainer is capped at a certain number of hours and limited in scope.
- The unlimited option gives you a full-service option where there is no limit on the legal work involved. If you get caught in a lengthy litigation, it’s fully funded and covered.
- Retainer – Business Leadership: large businesses will almost always have internal legal counsel providing them with ongoing advice. Growing business can benefit from a retainer agreement where an external solicitor joins their management team providing ongoing strategic advice and leadership.
