ExploreHow we work with clients
Advice you can act on
We explain where you stand, set out your options with their likely cost and risk, and tell you what we would do in your position.

Cost agreed in writing
Before any work begins we set out the scope, how we will charge (a fixed fee or an estimate based on time) and the likely total.
Changes agreed first
If a matter changes direction and the cost is likely to move, we tell you and agree the change with you before carrying on.
