Employment Law & Commercial Lease

We will assess your case and discuss several cost options with you, from fixed fee, hourly rates to no-win-no-fee.

We offer our client’s a highly competitive rate.  We always do our best to be as helpful as much as we can, and in some cases, we accept payment by instalments.

Value added tax (VAT) of 20% is added to our fees.  

We usually charge £100 for an initial consultation.  Subsequently, we will give you an estimate for your case.

• Principal: £280.00

• Solicitors: £150.00

• Caseworkers: £100.00

• Routine letters and phone calls are charged at 10% of the hourly rate of the applicable fee earner.

We will offer you a no win- no fee package if this is your preference.  With this package our fees will typically be 30% plus VAT of any sum we recover for you if we successfully achieve a settlement for you.  This will be paid at the end of your case, when the settlement monies have been received by you.

If a tribunal proceeding is required, we will review and discuss funding options available to you.  We may offer you a continuation of a no-win-no-fee package or enter a fixed fee agreed arrangement to cover our fees for advising and preparation up to and including the tribunal hearing.  

As an alternative, we will offer you the option of an agreed fee which means the rate we charge cannot be changed whatever the outcome of your case.

Our fixed fee rates on average range from £750 and £1,700 plus VAT to deal with all work before tribunal proceedings.  This includes review of your case, preparation of documents, advising you and conducting negotiations on your behalf.

On the occasion that a tribunal proceeding is required, we will review and discuss different funding possibilities with you.  Following this, we may offer you another fixed fee package to cover our fees for advising and preparation up to and including the tribunal hearing.  On average, we charge between £750- £1,200 to prepare and issue proceedings at the tribunal, and between £2,200- £2,500 plus VAT to represent you at the tribunal hearing. 

Please note that the costs for each work differ based on the quantity of documents provided, the emergency and the difficulty of your case.  All fees cited are estimations and are based on the circumstance of your case.

There may be other costs in addition to our fees. These are disbursements which are charges that we will need to pay on your behalf as part of your instruction, such as mediation fees, court fees and Barrister’s fees.  Barristers charge on average £1,500 plus VAT for a 1-day hearing (including all preparation).

We will discuss these fees or any additional fees with you prior to acquiring them.  This means we will not agree any disbursement without you granting us the approval to do so.
