01
Initial assessment
The first stage is to understand the legal issue, likely work and whether additional professional or court costs may apply.
Fees
Clear and transparent fees from the outset.
Legal fees depend on the nature, complexity and urgency of the matter. Wherever possible, the likely costs and fee structure are explained before work begins.
02
Agreed fee structure
Depending on the matter, fees may be fixed, staged or time-based. The applicable structure is explained before instructions are confirmed.
03
Third-party costs
Court fees, notary fees, translations, government charges and other third-party expenses are separate where applicable and identified as clearly as possible in advance.
