How much will it cost?

We usually charge for our advising and drafting on an hourly basis. The exact hourly rate will depend on the nature and complexity of your legal problem, the value of your claim and the seniority of the barrister you need to deal with your case.

Our more junior barristers charge from £100 - £300 per hour and our most senior barristers, who are Queen's Counsel (silks), typically charge between £300-£500 per hour plus VAT.  For further details please see our list of indicative fees here

If possible we will give you a fixed price for advisory and drafting work in advance. Where we do provide a fixed price for a piece of work we will never exceed the amount we have quoted without your express prior authority.  There are no hidden charges or 'extras'.

We usually charge fixed-rate fees for advocacy work, especially for court work, and we will negotiate those fees with you before appearing on your behalf.
