Costs And Accounts |
 |
It is important for us to come to an agreement with our clients at an early stage as to the costs involved and we encourage discussion right from the commencement of a matter.
You are welcome to arrange an appointment to see us for the first time to discuss the outline of your case and the costs that may be involved. |

Costing
The considerations that apply to costs will vary from matter to matter. In some cases we will be able to give a lump sum quote, and in others we will need to work on an hourly rate. There are many variables that may influence costs, especially in litigation.
Client Agreements
Where appropriate, we will enter into a Client Agreement setting out details of our retainer. Our Client Agreements comply with relevant statutory requirements. If during the matter unforeseen expenses arise, they are brought to your attention promptly and discussed with you.
Outlays
In addition to costs, we incur outlays in most matters. Outlays can vary from search fees through to barristers costs. Generally we seek payment of money into our trust account to cover significant estimated outlays.
Accounts
We render accounts at regular intervals during the course of a matter, but usually on a monthly basis. This practice enables our clients to know on a regular basis what the costs situation is. We seek payment of our accounts within 14 days.
GST
You will need to add GST of 10% to all quotes that we give for costs and disbursements.
