* For complex cases our rates may be higher and we will inform you if that is the case. From time to time work which would normally be done by a fee earner may be carried out by a secretary/legal administrator if this will reduce the cost to a client.

** For non-contentious work it may be possible for us to quote, at the time we are given instructions, a charge for the work. This is particularly the case for conveyancing. However such estimates are subject to variations in the event of unforeseeable circumstances or an abortive transaction. If that is the case we will notify you and our charge will normally be based on the time spent on the matter.

*** Standard telephone calls, letters out and electronic mail (e-mail) are charged at 1/10 of the hourly rate. Long telephone calls and letters are charged on the time spent. We do not charge for letters received unless they are lengthy in which case we charge for the time spent on considering them.
