Costs & Charge Out Rates

The Departments costs and charge-out rates vary from matter to matter.  It is not unusual for the Department to charge the client a fixed fee to take them to a certain point in a transaction.  For instance, in litigation work, we might charge to read the papers, meet with the client and to prepare a letter before claim. We might then request further payments to prepare the claim and issue proceedings at court or deal with any defence; to deal with the collation and disclosure of documents; to prepare witness statements; to instruct counsel, to represent the client at a hearing and so on and so forth.  In short, we often find that a commercial approach is necessary in order to achieve transparency and to ensure that the client feels happy in the service we are providing, as it allows us and the client to keep a running eye on costs in the case.

That aside, we do reserve the right to charge at our hourly rates where appropriate. In general, the hourly rate charged will depend on a number of circumstances, including: the type of work, the value of the claim, and the urgency.
