CONSULTATIONS & FEES
A clear process before any substantive work begins.
We explain the scope, likely cost and next steps before you decide whether to instruct the firm.
HOW IT WORKS
From first enquiry to formal instruction.
Initial enquiry
Send a short outline of the matter, the people or organisations involved and any relevant deadline.
Conflict and suitability checks
The firm confirms whether it is able to consider the matter and whether further information is required.
Consultation
A focused meeting is arranged to understand the issue, identify options and explain the likely next steps.
Written scope and fee basis
Where further work is needed, you receive a written scope, fee arrangement and any assumptions or exclusions.
FEES
Clear pricing where the work can be defined.
Fixed fees may be available for defined consultations, document reviews and certain application work.
More complex or ongoing matters may be charged by an agreed staged fee or another written arrangement suited to the work.
Any applicable taxes, filing fees, third-party costs or counsel’s fees will be explained separately where relevant.

BEFORE BOOKING
What to send with your enquiry.
A concise initial message helps the firm assess the matter quickly.
- Your full name and preferred contact details
- A short summary of the issue
- The names of the other parties involved
- Any relevant deadline
- The type of help you are seeking
IMPORTANT
Submitting an enquiry does not create a lawyer-client relationship.
The firm must first complete any necessary conflict and suitability checks and confirm the terms of engagement in writing.
