Read moreHow we engage
Scope, estimate, then work
Every matter begins with a conversation about what the issue actually is. If there is work to do, you receive a written scope and a fee estimate before it starts, together with a costs agreement that complies with the disclosure requirements under the Legal Profession Uniform Law.
Discrete pieces of work (a deed review, a ruling application, an objection, a piece of written advice) are quoted up front, usually as a range, with a fixed fee where the scope allows. Larger matters are scoped in phases, each with its own estimate, so you can stop or reassess at the end of any phase.
Have a matter you want a straight answer on?
Most engagements start with a short conversation about the issue and the exposure.
