The budget is set out with the client at the beginning of the project, ensuring that there are no surprises. Each stage is clearly defined and associated costs clearly explained so the client knows exactly what to expect.

Pricing & payment options

For each individual case we will review the options available to our clients and agree on the best pricing option for the services required. This could be a fixed fee for the entire case/or stages of the project, or a traditional hourly rate formula or a conditional fee arrangement. We will discuss the best option individually and tailor the pricing package to meet the client’s needs.
