Legal fees – being prepared always costs less

We work on a combination of the following fee structures:

fixed fee basis for more routine matters such as employment contracts, commercial leases, shareholders agreements and trademark registrations;

An hourly rate where it is not always easy to decipher what work will be needed for example on contentious matters;

A blended rate across the law firm that accommodates our most junior and senior rates depending on the legal adviser assisting with a view to using the most cost effective model with a view to keeping costs down for our clients.

We are as conscious as our clients of the importance of making every paid-for minute count. We take pride in our time-efficiency and effectiveness. We also believe in advising you to put in place secure systems and procedures at initial stages of business/company growth so you are contractually as well-protected as possible against the unexpected.

Being prepared always costs less.
