Our Fees

We believe that our clients should be in control of what they pay, when they pay and how they pay for our legal services.

Rules introduced by the Solicitors Regulation Authority in December 2018 require us to publish information on our website relating to legal costs and services for certain types of legal work.

Information cannot be provided on our website for every type of matter where we will act, as each case is different. We will provide you with a written indication of the fees we anticipate will apply to your case after we receive from you all facts and documents relating to your specific matter.

Paying our professional fees is straightforward too. We accept Paypal and all major credit cards, but if you'd rather arrange a bank transfer then that is also fine with us.

Free initial advice

We do not charge for considering new enquiries. We will always provide you with some free initial advice followed by a range of fee options to choose from, based on the level of service that you prefer. Whether you are an individual or a business, you can contact us for free and your enquiry will be reviewed directly by one of our fee earners.
