Employment
It is often very difficult to provide an accurate costs estimate in an Employment Law case
as the amount of costs are likely to be subject to so many different factors including the
value of the claim, the issues to be determined and the complexity of the case,
in order to get an accurate view of your specific circumstances we offer
a fixed fee initial appointment at a cost of £125, we will look at your
circumstances and be able to provide initial advice and an estimate of costs going forward.
Our professionals fees are likely to vary from £750 for a straight forward case to
in excess of £4,000 for a more complex case. Hourly rates vary from fee earner to fee earner,
but this estimate is based on an hourly rate of £200.00 p/h.
The fees set out above
exclude the following;
* Counsel's fees in relation to advice on merits/quantum
and/or representation at Court.
Depending on the seniority of the barrister instructed,
a reasonable estimate is in the region of £600 for a case management/directions hearing
and in the region of £1,000 - £1,200 per day for trial.
* Any fees associated with mediation or alternative dispute resolution
A referral to ACAS' dispute resolution service is obligatory before
commencing court proceedings, this a free service.
* Any disbursements such as Court issue fees, travel expenses, third party expense etc.
We are happy to provide a more accurate costs estimate once we have had the chance to
read any papers and taken instructions from you as to the issues in dispute.
