Our lawyers charge hourly rates or fixed fees according to the nature of the work to be undertaken. Fees are commensurate with the experience and seniority of a particular lawyer, and the complexity and length of the piece of legal work to be undertaken. Our lawyers are highly experienced in legal matters relating to lay people, professionals, firms, limited companies, We often take less time than other, less experienced lawyers, due to our expertise and experience.
