Fees
In most cases, we charge clients a low, fixed fee for our services. This way, you know your risks at the outset, and there are no surprise costs of pursuing your claims.
In certain special cases (dependent on your circumstances and the strength of the claims), we will agree to represent clients on a no win-no fee basis.
In other cases (for example, attending a one-off meeting with your employer), we will charge clients on an hourly basis.
One thing is for sure: the fees will be made clear to you and agreed upon, before you are required to pay us anything.
