Fees

Many privately funded clients will be best served by the prior agreement of fees directly with the clerks. Members of Chambers are happy to review and work with the clerks upon receipt of instructions in order to agree fees that are fair and reasonable. We are always willing to take an initial look at papers or briefs without obligation so that a fair fee can be agreed. In many cases, particularly advisory or drafting work, time-costed fees will be in the best interests of the client.

Developments in public funding, conditional fees, Law Society practice standards and the franchising of public authority legal services require innovatory approaches to fees. It is important that access to the legal system should be available to all. With these factors in mind, please feel free to raise any issues at any stage with our clerks.
