Fees and Service Delivery
Our most commonly used pricing models are (i) an agreed hourly rate, which may vary according to the seniority and experience of our lawyers and the complexity and urgency of the case and (ii) a fixed fee. Fees will include VAT where applicable.
The following factors may influence the timescale for the provision of our legal services:
- The availability of the barrister or solicitor;
- The availability of the client or relevant third parties;
- The complexity of the advice sought or case;
- The nature and scope of the research that will need to be undertaken to provide the advice;
- The amount of documents the barrister or solicitor will need to review;
- Following the review of the initial documentation provided by yourself the need for additional information or documents and the time scale for their delivery;
- In the case of legal proceedings, the approach taken by the other side;
- In the case of legal proceedings, whether third parties are intervening in the case;
- Court waiting times;
- The urgency of the matter.
Business Integrity
We are committed to conducting our business according to a high standard of business integrity. We have an Anti-Bribery Policy and Modern Slavery Statement, copies of which are available upon request.
Client Confidentiality and Conflicts Policy
We also recognise the absolute importance of client confidentiality. Members of E&A Law and administration are fully cognisant of the duty to keep the affairs of each client confidential (Core Duty 6 of the Bar Standards Board’s Handbook and rC89.5).
