We recognise that the amount you will be charged for our services will be important to you. We also recognise that not all clients want to be charged in the same way. We have therefore created a number of flexible fee arrangements.
Retainer arrangements
Some clients are happy to be charged in the more traditional, hourly rate, method of charging where we carry out the service you require and bill you at the end of the month in accordance with the amount of time spent. More recently we have found that some clients prefer to budget for their employment law spend across a 12 month period. For these clients, we tend to enter into retainer arrangements where the client pays a fixed monthly or quarterly amount for anticipated employment law advice over the year. Under our retainer arrangements, we allow clients to choose the level of retainer that will suit them and the cost is then spread across the year. For more details of our current retainer options, please contact any member of the employment Team.
Capped fee tribunal representation
When faced with a tribunal claim, it is often difficult for an employer to know whether to settle or fight the case. For the employer, one of the important factors will be the likely cost of defending the claim. Recognising this as an important issue for employers, we have introduced a capped fee tribunal representation scheme. Under this scheme, you will know the maximum you will pay in legal costs, even if the case goes all the way to a hearing before the Employment Tribunal. This allows you to budget and make a more educated decision at the outset as to whether you will, if necessary, fight the case. For more details of our capped fee tribunal representation scheme, please contact any member of the Employment Team.
