Fees

Overview

Our fee system sets us apart; not only will you have a top-quality service, it will be at a reasonable price. Wherever possible where the extent of the services we are required to provide to you are ascertainable, we offer fixed fees to give the client price certainty throughout their dealings with us.

Our approach is to establish a long-term relationship with a client rather than one lasting only for one case or matter. We want our clients to feel free to consult with us to see whether we might be of any assistance. On every occasion we are willing to discuss your needs and expectations and where the type of work involved does not fit into our fixed fee structure, provide you with an estimate of our fees. Where we are providing non-standard advice and assistance we charge on an hourly rate as follows:

Level of Qualification

Our Rate

Government National Guideline Teesside

Partner or Senior Solicitor:	£235	£255
Associate Solicitor 4 years PQE:	£200	£218
Assistant Solicitor or equivalent:	£177	£177
Paralegal or Trainee:	£120	£126

We will add VAT to our charges at the rate that applies when the work is done, currently 20%. If there are any disbursements required, we will discuss the position with you beforehand.

Breakdown of our legal fees

What does this mean for us?
- We don't like signing up to something without knowing how much it is going to cost and so we don't expect our clients to either.
- We will offer fixed fees, staged payments or capped fees.
- We will confirm our fees in writing.
- We will be clear about what is covered by the fees and tell out clients as early as possible if the agreed scope is potentially going to be exceeded.
- We are clear about fee arrangements and payments with our consultants and suppliers.
Dealing with uncomfortable things

We will be open with client about bills and billing. We don't want there to be any surprises.
