Quite simply, my policy is to be open and transparent about the fees that I charge. I give my clients the best information possible about the likely overall cost, both at the beginning and as the matter progresses.

General Employment Advice - Introductory Rate
For new clients, on application only, I offer an initial meeting of up to one hour charged at £125.00 plus VAT. In the event that I spend any further time on the client's matter, then my standard charge out rate detailed below is charged for all further time.

Standard Charge Out Rate

My standard charge out rate is £230 per hour, plus VAT and any disbursements. Time is recorded in 6 minute units. This rate may increase from time to time following review, but my clients will be notified of any increase a reasonable time in advance. My clients may choose to set an upper limit on the costs that I can incur before obtaining their written authority to exceed them.

As the focus of my services is on employment law advice, and in particular settlement agreements which I specialise in, as well as the drafting of employment contracts and settlement agreements, I do not accept the conduct of claims in the Employment Tribunal or civil courts.

Fixed Fees
Fixed fees may be available e.g. for the drafting of Settlement Agreements and contracts of employment.
