As well as providing clear advice we guarantee that we will be transparent on costs.
We understand the importance of providing fee clarity and value for money. In most cases our employment lawyers can meet with you (either in person or by way of a video call) and provide you with an assessment of your situation, including our view on your options and a recommendation, for a fixed fee of £375 plus VAT.
We offer fixed fee packages for any additional work if possible. If we are not able to provide a fixed fee then we will provide a clear indication of the likely fee based on an agreed scope of work.
Please note that we are not able to provide free advice nor do we work on a no-win, no-fee basis.
