I will usually quote a fixed fee, and agree it before starting work. In the very rare case where it is impossible to work out what needs to be done in advance, my fees will be based on an hourly rate which I shall specify before I do anything. That rate is to be agreed, but is likely to be £240 per hour. Letters, emails and telephone calls will then be charged at 1/10 of that hourly rate.
Stephen has a very good legal brain, an eye for detail and a tactical sixth sense. He has an appropriate mix of empathy and clear, unambiguous and realistic advice. S. Higgins, Bristol
