Charging Structure

Given our commercial approach, we recognise and understand the importance to clients of transparent and flexible charging structures. With that in mind, and in addition to providing a genuine estimate of the likely costs at the outset, we offer all our clients four alternative bases of charging:

	an agreed fixed fee
	hourly time charges subject to an agreed cap
	hourly time charges
	an agreed percentage of the overall transaction consideration.

It is not surprising that the majority of our clients opt for a fixed fee or percentage based arrangement, putting the emphasis on us to manage each project so as to ensure a timely completion. Since prospective clients have the choice of charging structure, we should never lose a tender based on price. It also means that we work hard to enhance our reputation and to attain clients’ objectives, in the certain knowledge of what our fee is going to be rather than undue emphasis being given to time recording.
