Our fees
Our principles and approaches to fees and charges
We are diligent and principled in all our dealings with clients and to guide us in our delivery of tailored fees to meet your financial circumstances we apply the following:
1
Transparency
We will let you know precisely for how much and for what services you will be charged. Our Retainer Agreement and Cost Agreement contains detailed but clear and plain information about legal costs.
2
Honesty
There are no hidden costs in our offers or agreements. The level of our accountability will provide you with comfort in understanding your legal fees and costs.
3
No surprises
We will provide you with written estimates of our fees. For services paid at hourly rates we will endeavor to estimate required hours as precise as practically possible.
4
Flexibility
The legal services are services which require high level of qualification and professionalism. That is way a budget for legal fees may seem substantial. We wish to make legal services accessible to you in any circumstances. That is why we are ready to offer flexible payment options, payment plans or fixed fees.
We offer 1 hour free Initial Consultation for all new clients!
This service is free of any financial obligations or commitment for you to retain our services. You decide whether or not to engage us after the initial consultation.
At the initial consultation we discuss the following:
– The avenues available for you to resolve your matter;
– The area of law your problem relates to and the legal processes involved;
– Your rights, entitlements, responsibilities and obligations (if any);
– What steps would be required to resolve your matter and the appropriate forum (Court or Public Authority);
– What documents, information or evidence may be needed for us to adequately advise you or conduct your matter;
– What services your require and how we can assist you with the same; and
– An estimate of our fees and the payment options available.
It is always helpful if you provide us with as much information and documents (if any) relevant to your matter prior to you attending your Initial Consultation. In any event, we ask that you bring all documents you might consider relevant to your matter to the Initial Consultation.
Our rates
After initial free consultation the usual charge out rate for Solicitors is $300 per hour plus GST. Payment plans and fixed fees are available. We will discuss your payment option during the initial consultation. We also offer representation on a “limited fees basis” for eligible clients.
We also Offer Fixed Fee Legal Packages.
