OUR FEES
Whilst it is possible for us to agree fixed fees in non-contentious matters, it might not always be possible to agree a fixed fee in contentious matters where more time will be spent on a client’s work. In such cases, we charge on hourly basis. Instances, where fixed fees may be agreed are as listed below. It is however, important to note that fees indicated below do not include monies payable as court fees, fees to Home Office fees or any other body. Any other such fees or costs are separately advised. We ensure there are no surprises.

In Employment matters, we charge an hourly rate of £300 (this rate is because our work is presently principal led); but as in all cases, an initial consultation fees of £150 is payable for a 30-minute initial consultation to discuss your matter and assess your claim. Where an Employment matter is contentious and we have to act at the the Employment Tribunal, our charges could range from £2,500 to more than £25,000 by the time the claim is determined by the Employment Tribunal. Disbursements which are payments due to third parties regarding your case have not been taken into consideration in this estimate. Fee for Barrister representation has not been taken into consideration, and this can range from £1500 to above £5000 + VAT per day. There are circumstances where we may agree to a Damage Based Agreement. This is also called “no-win-no-fee”. This can be agreed depending on the circumstance of your case. You will however still be responsible for other expenses like Barrister’s fee for the hearings, and this can range from £1500 to above £5000 + VAT per day.There are also circumstances when you may be required to pay our cost.
