How We Work
01
Fee Structure
Our professional fees are detailed in an engagement letter, which sets out the basis of our relationship and the scope of work. Fees are generally agreed upon for specific work streams. Initial payments are typically made upfront, with the balance due upon completion or before judgment, depending on the case. Our fees are exclusive of value-added tax or statutory fees. For work outside the initial scope, fresh fees will be agreed upon, either as a fixed fee or based on hourly rates. The firm considers the fee a full and final payment if the matter concludes at the trial court within twelve calendar months of accepting the instruction. If legal representation exceeds twelve months, a mutually acceptable upward review of additional fees may be requested.
02

Clients are obligated to provide timely, accurate, and non-misleading information and documents.
