As a general rule, we charge legal fees on a time-charge basis, but we also take into account the client’s economic and business interests in the case in question, as well as the time taken to handle the case, and we are flexible to suit the individual circumstances. Upon request of the client, we will provide a preliminary estimate. In some cases, we charge fees on a project-by-project basis for routine work (e.g. probate) or large matters. Apart from legal fees, we charge for barrister’s fees, printing costs, revenue stamps, postage stamps, copying fees, transport and communication costs, accommodation costs and other actual expenses and daily allowances for handling mandates.
In the case of an advisory contract (i.e. annual retainer), the time charge is lower than the normal time charge so that clients can feel free to contact us for advice on day-to-day problems and labour matters. For more information, please contact us.
