The cost of General Business

There are many instances where the work we’re asked to do doesn’t “fit” into one of the prescribed categories of work we have listed on our website. Such instances might include general advice about a title matter in a property transaction. It could just as easily be an enquiry from a client on whether a Will can be challenged or whether someone should be removed as an Attorney in a Power of Attorney. These are just some short examples of the types of questions we are commonly asked.

In situations such as this where the work involved doesn’t “fit” into any specific category, our fee will be based on an hourly rate. We are likely to be unable to give you an indication of the time involved at the outset of the case but as matters progress, we will keep you fully informed and provide our best estimate of the length of time it will take to reach a resolution. You should always remember that we have to deal with third parties, not all of whom may be co-operative.

Our current rates per hour for the different categories of fee earner in our firm are as follows:

The hourly rate does not include any outlays or expenses that need to be met and these will vary depending on the nature of the case. We will advise you of these costs once these are known to us.
