Pricing
A ‘Private Client’ is one who pays for our services from their own resources and is not funded by the legal aid scheme. We represent both Immigration and Asylum and Leasehold Conveyancing clients on a private basis. Our aim is always to provide the highest quality service in respect of all the services we offer.
Value for Money
We understand the cost of legal services is an important consideration for our clients. We will work as efficiently as possible without compromising on quality. By focusing on the key issues right from the start we can ensure you get value for money.
Clear About Cost
We will always explain the costs involved, so there will be nothing unexpected. We will agree costs with you in advance and are happy to discuss funding options with you.
Getting Started
For new clients, we offer an initial no obligation one-hour free exploratory consultation meeting. The consultation can be either in person or by video call. This is an opportunity for you to seek initial advice on your case, get a second opinion and decide whether you would like us to assist you.
ABOUT OUR CHARGES
Professional Fees
Unless and until either an alternative fee arrangement has been agreed and confirmed in writing by us or you are entitled to have our fees paid by the Legal Aid Agency (in which case different cost considerations apply as set out in our Client Care Letter), the basis for calculation of our fees is primarily by reference to the time spent by the fee earner(s) dealing with the matter (including any time which we spend travelling) and will be charged at an hourly rate.
Where relevant, the hourly rates applicable to your matter will be confirmed to you in our Client Care Letter. The current hourly rates provided by our firm are as follows:
Fee type | Cost |
Solicitors and Legal Executives with more than 8 years’ experience | £275.00 per hour (plus VAT at 20%) |
Solicitors, CILEX or Costs Lawyers with a minimum of 4 years PQE | £250.00 per hour (plus VAT at 20%) |
Other Solicitors or Legal Executives and Fee Earners with similar experience and Trainee Solicitors | £150.00 per hour (plus VAT at 20%) |
We may from time to time review our charging rates and will notify you immediately in writing of any changes which are applicable to your matter.
Sometimes, in cases of exceptional complexity or urgency or when specialist knowledge is required, a higher rate may need to be charged. Where it becomes apparent that such circumstances exist, we will notify you of this.
We are registered for VAT purposes. Our VAT registration number is 848507987.
All fees are quoted exclusive of VAT, which will be added where appropriate. Currently, the VAT rate is 20%.
