Pricing and added value

FIXED FEES

Where possible, we offer fixed fees for our legal services so that our clients know what to expect with their legal bill and can budget for it.  Offering fixed fee services enables us to focus on our clients’ matters rather than the number of hours we are working on it.

MEETING EXPECTATIONS

We pride ourselves on working as an efficient team to meet our clients’ expectations and objectives. To ensure expectations are met, clients can expect a lawyer with 10+ years’ experience to have the carriage of their matter.

ADDED VALUE

We offer clients in-house training seminars at competitive prices. We can also provide our lawyers as in-house consultants at competitive rates.

MEETINGS OUTSIDE OFFICE HOURS

We understand that the work/life balance is difficult and we will work with you to meet at a time that is convenient to you, even if it’s outside office hours.
