We understand that clarity on fees is important.
Our approach is straightforward. We will discuss and agree the basis of our fees with you at the outset of any work, so you have a clear understanding of the likely costs involved.
How we Charge
Our fees are structured to reflect the nature of the work and the level of support required.
We offer a range of pricing options, including:
Hourly rates
For many types of work, we charge on an hourly basis. This allows us to provide flexible support where the scope of the work may evolve.
Fixed fees
Where appropriate, we can agree fixed fees for defined pieces of work, such as drafting contracts, policies or employee handbooks, or supporting specific stages of a matter.
Retained advisory support
We offer ongoing support arrangements for employers who require regular employment law advice.
These arrangements are tailored to your organisation and can include telephone and email support, as well as additional services where appropriate. We aim to keep these arrangements flexible, and they can usually be ended on notice.
Workplace mediation
For workplace mediation, we typically charge on a day-rate basis, depending on the nature and complexity of the matter.
Insurance-funded work
In some cases, we can act for clients where legal expenses insurance is in place. We are approved by certain insurers to provide employment law support under these arrangements.
Our approach to fees
We aim to be transparent, fair and proportionate in how we charge.
We will:
- Discuss fees with you at the outset
- Agree the most appropriate fee structure for your needs
- Keep you informed as work progresses
If the scope of work changes, we will explain this clearly and discuss any impact on fees.
Review of fees
Our fees are reviewed periodically.
