Fees
Clear, structured fixed fees
We price defined work as fixed fees whenever we can — so you know what you are paying for before you instruct. Remote delivery keeps us competitive; transparent quotations keep you in control.
How we approach cost
Legal fees should not feel opaque. Our model is built around scoped workstreams, plain-English quotations, and packages that cover the work people most often need — from child arrangements and divorce through to wills, name changes and mediation preparation.
Fixed fees for defined work
Where the steps are clear — drafting a will, lodging a consent order, preparing a deed poll, or advising on a child arrangements application — we quote a fixed fee covering that scope. You know the cost before you instruct.
Competitive, without cutting corners
A remote practice means lower overheads than a traditional high-street firm. We pass that through as structured, affordable packages — while keeping the same professional standard of advice, drafting and client care.
Transparent before you start
Every quotation sets out what is included, what is not, VAT, and any court or third-party fees we expect. If the matter may expand, we explain the stages and confirm each stage before we proceed.
From enquiry to quotation
You do not need a finished brief to get started. Tell us the issue; we turn it into a clear fee proposal.
Step 1
Tell us what you need
A short enquiry is enough. Share the issue, any deadlines, and whether you already have documents or court involvement.
Step 2
Receive a scoped quotation
We map the work to a fixed fee or staged fees, list inclusions clearly, and confirm whether disbursements (such as court fees) apply.
Step 3
Instruct with certainty
Once you accept, onboarding and the portal follow. Billing matches the quotation — no quiet hourly creep on scoped work.

Fees questions
Straight answers on fixed fees, VAT, staged work and how quickly we can quote.
Do you publish a fixed price for every matter?
We publish example workstreams so you can see how we structure fees. Your quotation is tailored to your facts — complexity, urgency and documents already prepared all affect the figure — but the method is always the same: clear scope, confirmed cost, before you instruct.
Are your fees competitive?
Yes. Because we work remotely, we keep overheads lower than a traditional office-based firm and price defined packages accordingly. Competitive does not mean cheap advice: it means fair, structured fees for professional work you can plan around.
What is included in a fixed fee?
Your quotation lists the inclusions in plain English — typically advice, drafting, agreed amendments within scope, and portal support through those steps. Court fees, expert reports and work outside the agreed scope are identified separately.
What if my matter cannot be fixed in one fee?
Some cases are open-ended — contested hearings, changing evidence, or ongoing negotiations. We then use staged fees: each stage is scoped and priced before we start it, so you stay in control of cost as the matter develops.
Do quotations include VAT and court fees?
We show our professional fees with VAT clearly. Court fees and other disbursements are listed separately where we expect them, so you can see the full picture rather than a headline figure that hides extras.
How quickly can I get a quotation?
Most straightforward enquiries receive a clear fee proposal promptly after we understand the issue. If we need more detail, we will say exactly what is required — we do not leave you waiting without an update.
