Pricing Transparency

As a law firm regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, we subscribe to a code of conduct that ensures transparency in price and service. As a firm we value honesty and integrity and we always ensure that our clients are fully aware of the scope of the service they receive and the legal costs involved.

We aim to remove that uncomfortable surprise when the bill arrives.

Our fees are calculated by reference to our lawyer’s hourly rates which range from £120 to £550 per hour depending on their level of qualification and expertise. We also offer competitive fixed fee arrangements that we can agree with clients from the outset. Our fixed fee arrangements offer clients exceptional service at a great value and a piece of mind.

Our fees are exclusive of the then prevailing Value Added Tax (VAT) rate. VAT will be charged on our fees and on disbursements where applicable. VAT is a government tax added to most services sold by VAT registered businesses and is not optional; we are VAT Registered with number 349 0278 85. In certain circumstances, a client may be exempt from paying VAT. If you have any questions about whether or not you should be charged VAT, please speak with your accountant or financial adviser.

We do not undertake any Legal Aid work.

Our fees for Immigration Services

Immigration cases vary in complexity. in order for us to offer you a fair competitive fee, we offer a 15-minute telephone/WhatsApp call completely free of charge. During this no obligation call, we will ask questions about your immigration matter and conduct an initial assessment to determine the chances of success, timeframes and fees.

On average our standard immigration cases take between 4-10 hours at a cost range between £800 - £4,000 (ex VAT). More complex cases can take between 8-15 hours at a cost range between £1,500 - £6,000 (ex VAT). The fixed fee offered will depend on the fee-earners hourly rate and complexity of the case. A case may be considered complex due to a number of factors; these may include, the volume of evidence we need to assess, previous adverse immigration history and the urgency of the case.

For advice and representation at the First-tier Tribunal Immigration and Asylum Chamber in relation to appeals against Home Office immigration decision, we will charge an hourly rate of £450 (ex VAT). We estimate the work will take between 15-35 hours. We will also instruct a barrister to represent you at the Tribunal.  The barrister fees will likely be in the range of £1,500 - £4,500 (ex VAT).

The scope of service offered as part of our fixed fee arrangement include, but is not limited to, legal research, evidence review and assessment, advice on immigration rules and on available immigration solutions, preparing and submitting applications, drafting cover letters and submissions, file management, representations and follow ups and advice on outcome of the application.

We aim to prepare and submit immigration applications for our clients within 1-2 weeks from receipt of the information and documents we require. You will be informed when the application is submitted and will keep you updated until a decision is made. If the case is urgent we can discuss this with and if possible offer you our priority service which may cost an additional £500 - £1000 (ex VAT).
