Costs and Fees

Clients will appreciate that costs in commercial matters cannot be generalised. We understand that costs may be significant in some cases. Clients may have different levels of ability to pay costs. We give full costs disclosure on every matter, both initially and on an ongoing disclosure basis. In estimating costs there will be different methods in commercial litigation than in non commercial matters

Without generalising, set out below is an indication of some of the areas of law we work in and how fees are charged for each.

Details of our fees are set out in our Disclosure Statement and Costs Agreement provided to each client, as soon as practicable, after initial instructions are taken. If a prospective client wishes to obtain a copy of our Fee Disclosure Documents, we will forward a copy via e-mail upon request. Click here to email us.

Below is an indication of our costs in different areas of law. All costs quoted are exclusive of GST, Counsels fees (if applicable) and out-of-pocket expenses. We may also agree to a negotiated fee for our services, where appropriate, and significant discounted rates are available under certain terms and conditions, which will be advised at the initial meeting.
