Pay as you go

Many of our clients prefer us to work on a pay-as-you-go basis. For this type of service, our standard hourly rates apply. 

We usually start working for you with a meeting over Teams. Generally, these tend to last approximately two hours, but it depends on the volume of papers, the issues involved and/or questions you may have. 

During the meeting, we will advise you on your legal rights/obligations, next steps and likely costs.

After the initial meeting/phase, we will set out estimates of how much time and cost we think the next phase/step of your matter will take. We only continue working for you if you agree the further fees.

We will ask for money on account of our costs before undertaking the work, so will never incur fees you are not expecting or willing to pay for. 

Fixed fees - Employers

We have a suite of fixed-priced services, that will afford you certainty of spend.

HR Consultancy

Fixed fees - Employees

In some cases, we can also fix our fees for the work we do for individuals. This includes:

Settlement Agreement

If the terms of your settlement agreement are agreed, then we can usually fix the cost of advising you on it at the level of contribution from your employer (provided the contribution is reasonable). 

Once we have advised you, if you wish to negotiate, we can continue to help and support you, but it may mean the contribution is exceed; if so, we will tell you before we undertake any further work and we will ask your employer to increase its contribution, so you have no fees to pay.

Case Review

Spend up to half an hour with a lawyer for an introductory fixed fee to find out whether you have a case and how much benefit there would be to taking it further, or to ask any specific questions you may have.

Contract Review

We tend to find that to review and advise on the terms of your contract of employment takes 1-2 hours, and so often cap our fees at two hours (but only charge the time it takes if less, but no more).
