Competitive fees
Our fees are highly competitive because, unlike many other law firms, we have an in-house barrister. This means that our clients have access to the expertise of both arms of the legal profession. We also keep our overheads and fixed costs down by using electronic case-management systems and other technologies that ensure a streamlined service for our clients.
Most expenses included
We do not bill separately for the usual running expenses of a law firm such as telephone calls, photocopying, printing, stationery, document storage, postage or travel within London.
Our fees do not include costs related to your matter that are payable to third parties (known as disbursements – see above), Court fees, Home Office fees, independent expert fees and translation/interpretation fees. Where such costs arise, you will be responsible for them, so that you always know exactly what is being paid and to whom.
VAT
All fees quoted below are exclusive of VAT. VAT will be added at 20% where this is required by law. For example, VAT will be added where you are in the UK and have, or previously had, leave to remain. If you normally reside outside the UK then VAT will not be added.
