Fees can be agreed on either an hourly rate basis or overall fee based on preparation and likely duration or on document tendered. This can apply to hearings, conferences and paperwork. The Clerks are happy to discuss any special requirements, and to provide more details. Bert Solicitors does not undertake conditional fee work. In most cases, seniority of Counsel used will affect overall cost.
As introduced by the Bar Standards Board in January 2013, Bert Solicitors has adopted the Standard Contractual Terms of instruction (with slight amendment). This applies to privately funded work, with instruction from solicitors or other professional bodies.
For further information, or to obtain a copy of the Terms, please contact the Clerks.
