Our Fees

---

A Yes! When we first speak, it is for us to understand the broad gist of your problem, so that we can see how we can add value and help resolve it for you. It is also a two-way conversation to see whether we both want to work with each other. It usually takes about half an hour, though we don't put a time limit on it, and there is no obligation to instruct us afterward. Any in-depth analysis of your case and examination of your documents will come later if you come on board as a client.

 
A It depends on what we agree as the scope of the work, and the type of work involved. We will always give you an advance estimate or fixed fee and keep you informed if anything changes.

 A Yes we do - our clients love fixed fees! That way you can have some certainty over what you need to budget, and we don't need to clock watch! See the examples on this page, and give us a call so we can discuss your needs because we try and tailor our fixed fees to suit each client's affordability.

 A Yes, sometimes. Our fee estimates and fixed fee quotes are subject to certain assumptions including that all proceeds smoothly, both parties are reasonable, and no unexpected issues or additional complexities arise. Full details will be set out in our client engagement letter and terms of business that we send you prior to the work being carried out. We may have to charge additional fees if things do not proceed according to these assumptions.

A Yes, sometimes, where the time and work involved is not suitable for a fixed fee, or is highly variable, or where our client prefers. We will still provide an estimated range of fees so you have an idea of likely cost at the start. Our hourly rates range from £250 to £350 plus VAT depending on the expertise required, the complexity of the matter, and taking into account your budget too. 

A short, simple, basic statement of employment terms suitable for your needs

A fairly short and simple contract of employment tailored to your needs

A longer more complex contract of employment with restrictive covenants for managers

A bespoke, detailed and comprehensive contract of employment for senior managers or director's service contract with appropriate restrictive covenants

For clients that want a high level of support, detailed advice and drafting bespoke elements, where there are complex or unusual arrangements to cover, or want significant amendments made to a contract, then we will provide a tailored fee quote for this additional work on top of the Tier fee above.

Short, simple agreements

Longer agreements, often with restrictive covenants
