Questions we are asked often

How soon can I see somebody?

Usually within three working days, and the same week for anything with a deadline on it.

If you have been served with something, ring the clerk and say so. A claim with a filing date is seen before a question about a contract.

What should I bring to the first meeting?

The papers, in the order they happened, and the dates. A letter, a contract, a transfer receipt and a timeline written on one page will get you further in an hour than anything else.

Copies are fine. Please do not bring originals you cannot replace.

Do you act for both sides?

Never in the same matter. If we already act for the other party we will tell you on the telephone, before you have told us anything about your case, and we will suggest two other chambers.

Will the advocate I meet be the one doing the work?

Yes. That is most of the reason we have stayed at three advocates. The only exception is a hearing date that clashes, and we would tell you about it a fortnight ahead rather than on the day.

How do you charge?

By the hour for advice and by a fixed fee for anything we can define, which is most company, property and contract work.

Every matter starts with a written fee note saying what the figure covers and what would make it go up. If a matter is going to cost more than the note says, you hear it from us before the work is done, not on the invoice.

Do you take cases on a share of what is recovered?

No. For debt recovery we charge per letter and per filing, which means a small debt is still worth chasing, and you keep everything that comes in.
