It is impossible to estimate costs and legal fees before the assessment of the case because every case has its own path, needs and hurdles.

After a first assessment of the case, we can propose a fixed fee (linked to the amount in dispute and the complexity of the case) or an hourly rate-based fee (depending on the seniority of each lawyer involved), and the choice is up to you.

If you want a generic and preliminary assessment of your dispute3, we can provide it for a fixed fee.

  • Simple cases (up to 20 pages of documents): £100.00
  • Middle cases (21 to 50 pages of documents): £200.00
  • Large cases (more than 50 pages of documents): we shall provide you with a quotation
  • Video conference: £100.00 every 30 minutes (plus the fixed fee according to the complexity of the case)
  • Advisory opinion ‘at home’: if you wish, one of our experienced lawyers can reach you at your domicile to select relevant documents and give their opinion charging £800.00 for each day4 or fraction of a day (option recommended for complex cases only)
