Family Law - Fees Structure
We offer Agreed Fixed Fee Arrangements as an alternative to the standard hourly rate. This means that we offer a fixed price for each stage of legal work.
Our agreed fixed fee for family law cases covers all the work until the conclusion of the stage up to which you have instructed us. Please be advised that our agreed fixed fee does not cover any disbursements incurred on your matter i.e. third-party charges e.g. court fees or counsel fees.
The followings are the best estimate of our professional fees. Please note that VAT where applicable and any disbursements such as the Court fees of £593 or Counsel fees are payable by the client.
