Hourly Rates

Most customers prefer the certainty of a fixed fee, however we are able to deal with your matter on a traditional hourly rate charging basis.

A preliminary point needs to be stressed - the hourly rate which you pay must cover not only training, knowledge and expertise of the Solicitor, but also staff and office running costs. All letters and telephone calls (whether made or received) are counted as a minimum of six minutes. If any letter or telephone call represents a longer time involvement then the time will be specifically noted on the file and will be costed accordingly. Please bear in mind that our time is your money. Therefore, whatever you can do to reduce our time involvement will save you money. For our part we will try to work as efficiently and effectively as possible. For example, we will not send unnecessary letters nor make unnecessary telephone calls - help us to help you! Our current charging rates are as follows:

Grade A - Senior Partners, Directors and Solicitors with over eight years post qualification experience (currently our Mr Ian Anderson and Ms Salma Jaffer): £255.00 per hour

Grade B - Partners, Directors, experienced Solicitors and experienced Legal Executives with over four years post qualification experience: £218.00 per hour

Grade C - Other qualified Solicitors or Legal Executives: £177.00 per hour

Grade D - Trainee solicitors, paralegals or equivalent: £126.00 per hour
