Fees payable to the court when raising or defending proceedings. These vary depending on the type and value of the claim and are in addition to our legal fee.
In certain disputes, expert reports or specialist witnesses may be required. The cost of instructing experts is additional to our legal fee and will be discussed with you in advance.
Where a dispute requires extended negotiation or multiple rounds of correspondence before resolution, additional time will be charged in accordance with our hourly rate.
If a matter proceeds to appeal, further fees and outlays will apply. We will advise you on the merits and estimated costs before any appeal is lodged.
