What may impact on the level of fees?
Factors which could affect the overall costs include:

We will advise you about any additional fees if and when such issues arise. However, the matters listed below are some of the situations that may arise for which additional fees will apply:

Our hourly rates range from £150 to £210 plus VAT (£180 to £252 in total) based on the level of qualification and experience. Your work will be allocated to the most cost effective team member with the appropriate experience.
