How do we work
What are your fee structures and how do you work?
- Our fee structures for disputes take any one of three forms, to wit:
- Fees based on professional time spent only.
- When we engage on this basis, we will charge based on time spent at our respective hourly rates.
- We will, insofar as reasonably possible, provide you with a quote for expected time to be spent in assisting with your case at our respective hourly rates in advance.
- Fees based on professional time spent plus a success fee.
- When we engage on this basis, we charge based on time spent in working on your case in the same way as in the first fee structure above and will, in addition to fees based on time spent, charge a success fee but only if the case is successfully resolved. The success fee will be the LOWER of a percentage of the saving or an amount equal to the fees charged based on time spent.
- We will provide a quote in advance insofar as is reasonably possible.
- Success fee only.
- When we engage on this basis, we do not charge for time spent and will only charge if and to the extent the dispute is resolved successfully. If successfully resolved we charge a percentage of the saving achieved, which percentage we will agree with you on in advance.
