Introduction & Hourly Rates
Our Fixed fees
Our practice is to charge a fixed rate where we can. We find that our clients like the certainty of knowing exactly what the costs will be at the start of their matter. We carry out a range of work and we will let you know the fixed fee we can agree once we have an idea how much time and your transaction will involve. Our fixed fee will be based on our assessment of the time and complexity of your case.
Our Hourly rates
It isn’t always possible to agree a fixed fee, because some transactions involve elements of uncertainty which are not in our control and which cannot be estimated easily. For these cases we will offer a hourly rate and then provide you with an estimate of the likely costs based on our experience of similar transactions.
Our hourly rates vary based on the level of experience or seniority of the person working on the matter. Our general hourly rates are as follows:
- Partners: £275 plus VAT per hour
- Senior Solicitor: £250 plus VAT per hour
- Solicitors: £200 plus VAT per hour
- Paralegals: £160.00 plus VAT per hour
