Our professional fees
Fixed Fees
Our client care letter will include a detailed description of what we have agreed to do for an agreed fixed fee and a summary of the information which we received from you.
Hourly fees
Unless otherwise agreed our charges will be based on the time we spend dealing with your matter.
