We are required by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) to provide pricing information to potential clients regarding certain types of work. However, we encourage our clients to contact us for more detailed information based on their specific situation and needs, and not to base any decision solely on price. We firmly believe in the principle that ‘you get what you pay for’ and are committed to providing our clients with clear, practical, and effective legal advice, a responsive and highly personal service, and, crucially, value for money.
Fees
Our firm’s fees are charged on an hourly rate basis. The fees are calculated by reference to the time we spend on any work we do on your behalf. This includes preparation for, attendance at, and follow-up from meetings, reading and working on documents, correspondence, including emails, and time spent traveling from the office when necessary. Our hourly rate is 195 + VAT.
Routine Telephone Calls, Letters, and Emails
We charge for all routine telephone calls. This includes calls made by our firm and calls received by our firm. It also includes calls you make to our firm or calls we make to you.
Routine telephone calls are charged at one-tenth of the hourly rate. We also charge for all routine letters and emails written by our firm at one-tenth of the hourly rate.
Similarly, we charge for routine letters and emails received by our firm at one-tenth of the hourly rate. This includes any routine correspondence we may receive from you or third parties.
However, certain correspondence, such as detailed letters of claim or letters that require significant time for drafting, or any communication that requires more than 6 minutes of time, may be charged at the full hourly rate.
Our hourly rates and rates for telephone calls, letters, and emails are reviewed every six months. If there is any change to the fee structure, we will make an effort to inform you of the change promptly. These rates are subject to review to reflect increases in overhead costs and inflation.
