Questions

Questions about fees

The things people ask before the first call, answered plainly.
No. The first conversation with a partner is free and there is no obligation to go further.
Most matters are quoted as a fixed fee in writing before we start. Where that is not possible we agree an hourly rate and a cap, and you see every invoice before it is due.
If we start work without giving you a written quote, the first hour is free. It is a promise about our service, not about the outcome, which no lawyer can guarantee.
Most commercial disputes settle within three to nine months. Court timetables run longer, and we say so at the start rather than later.
No. The partner you meet runs the matter, supported by one associate. Nothing is passed down the line.
