Our Fees
Our fees are mainly calculated using an hourly rate, which is set according to our fee earners’ knowledge and experience. Please refer to our fee earning categories below and to our individual profile pages.
Our current hourly rates range from £150 to £300, but we are happy to discuss our fees directly with you to give a closer estimate of the likely costs bearing in mind your individual circumstances, including the level and complexity of your case as well as the level of service that you require.
For convenience we have set out below more information on some of the mainstream applications that we undertake. The guide price range envisages us providing an office-based service, and excludes in person attendance at Home Office premium appointments or interviews. We are happy to discuss in greater detail the steps likely to be taken, and timescales, or to provide a bespoke quote.
We are transparent about our fees, and will give our best estimate at the outset and throughout the case, so that you can remain in control of the funding. In some instances, we are able to agree a fixed fee. We do not currently offer a no win/ no charge arrangements or other contingency fee or damage-based arrangement.
Where VAT is chargeable (generally persons with lawful residence) this is charged at 20%
We have a Legal Aid contract in immigration and public law. Where a person is able to demonstrate eligibility, we may be able assist under public funding.
In the event of any concern about our fees please refer to our Complaints Procedure.
