Fees:  

We usually charge according to their level of experience, the complexity of the case and the length of time
involved in dealing with it.  We will agree a fixed fee for each piece of work that you ask us to undertake, and will
require this fee to be paid in advance.  There are no formal scales of fees for barrister's work, but we
will generally charge a standard fee for certain types of hearing or work that they do regularly.  

Where the fee relates to a hearing, the barrister is normally entitled to the fee, whether or not the hearing goes
ahead. 50% of the fee will be payable before the barrister starts preparation for the hearing and this will be
non refundable whatever happens.


Arrangements can be made to hold conferences at a location with access for anyone with a
    disability.  Please contact our Clerk in advance for appropriate arrangements to be made.  
    We will consider all requests for reasonable adjustments to be made to our facilities in order
    to assist any disabled person wishing to use our services.
