Fees & Services

For routine legal work, charging by the hour makes no sense to our clients – they see no connection between the fees charged and the value of the work to them. It rewards inefficiency. From our client’s perspective, that’s unnerving.

​

So we’ve flipped that on its head. We offer fixed fees for standard work types.

Pricing

In the interests of transparency and providing our clients with a higher level of financial certainty, we offer fixed fees on all our standard work. For non-standard work or work beyond the scope of the services list below, please contact us on +64 3 450 0000.
