Fees
LEGAL SERVICES
At Wright & Lord we have a wide range of services and a wide range of clients. And so we offer a wide range of fee arrangements, too. Some services, such as personal injury are dealt with on a ‘no-win-no-fee’ basis. Others, such as probate, don’t even require any upfront fees. With many of our other services, such as conveyancing, we can give you a fixed and agreed price in advance, so there will be no nasty surprises when the bill arrives!
Most other client work is charged for on an hourly rate basis. In these cases, clients are naturally concerned that fees could escalate out of control. To make sure that doesn’t happen we do the following:
• Provide you with an estimate wherever possible
• Fix a price for a set amount of work
• Limit the costs incurred during a certain period of time
• Report on costs incurred at regular stages agreed in advance.
At the moment our hourly rates are as follows:
• Partner or Lawyer with 5 years or more experience - £198 plus VAT
• Lawyer with less than 5 years experience - £174 plus VAT
• Experienced Clerk or Assistant - £145 plus VAT
But remember, every case is different and wholly unique. We would rather discuss fees with you in advance so there are no surprises or misunderstandings at a later date.
