Our Fees

As a law firm regulated by the SRA, we publish information about our pricing for certain services that we provide to the public and to businesses. This pricing information relates to advice we provide on immigration (excluding asylum), employment tribunals (claims for unfair or wrongful dismissal) and motoring offences.

The fees and costs that is stated in our pricing information are based on our experience of the likely cost of dealing with similar matters or are based on our best estimate of the likely amount of professional time incurred. In some circumstances, we may need to revise our fee, for example, if your instructions change, or unforeseen or exceptional circumstances arise.

Unless we agree otherwise, we charge an agreed fee for specific work.

In certain circumstances, we can agree on a fixed fee with a client in all our areas of practice. Our fixed fee starts from £600 excluding VAT (where VAT is applicable), depending on the nature of work. In employment law cases, we may also be able to offer a conditional fee arrangements if following an initial assessment , we decide that there are merits to purse a case however, the discretion to offer this type of arrangement solely lies on the firm.  In very exceptional cases, we may be able to accept fees lower than the minimum fees indicated in our Pricing Guide.

Initial Consultation

We offer an initial no obligation consultation which can either be in person or remotely via telephone, skype, zoom or any other agreed online platform. The cost of this service is between £100-£250 per hour excluding VAT depending on the year of experience of the solicitor or caseworker handling the matter.
