Transparency Statement
The Clerks are able to provide fee estimates and will quote on a fixed fee or hourly rate basis dependant on the requirements of those instructing.
The Clerks will also keep you updated on timescales and changes which may have an effect on your case. Timescales for a case may vary depending on factors such as barristers’ availability, the type and complexity of the case, the other side’s approach, the amount of papers you need to review, the need for additional information for documents, third parties intervening in the case and court waiting times. We endeavour always to work within a client’s requested time scale, however short that may be. In circumstances where a deadline cannot be met, the client will be informed at the earliest opportunity.
We are fully committed to transparency in relation to fees. and we normally calculate them by reference to the amount of time required and a commercial hourly rate applicable to the relevant barrister. Our fees are flexible and competitive, the hourly rates may vary as a result of the experience and seniority of your Barrister as well as its urgency and complexity.
