Litigation is expensive and often the legal costs involved in taking your case could be far greater than what is actually awarded to you by the Court or what is finally charged by us.
We try wherever possible to ensure that the fee does not exceed an award made and that we achieve an award or settlement which is as significant as possible for you. That is not always possible.
At the early stages of a case, we have no idea how much documentation might be involved, what issues might arise, how many preliminary issues may be raised by each side etc. However, we do know this process well and we invariably know what we will come into contact with (within reason!).
There is a caveat here that what is set out below can only ever be a guide outlining our minimum fee, in that the total cost will be no less than what is set out below.
Our Initial retainer fee of is €975 plus VAT. This fee covers the commencement of your legal work, including setting up your file, reviewing your papers, drafting correspondence, and filing necessary complaints on your behalf. Please note that this fee is non-refundable.
A success-based payment will be due upon the successful resolution of your case, whether through a court decision, tribunal, or settlement agreement. This fee is calculated based on the time spent on your case, including advising, attending meetings, handling correspondence, and any required travel. It also covers drafting and reviewing submissions, instructing counsel, and representing you in court or other forums. This fee is in addition to the initial retainer, which is not deducted from it. Our charges are primarily based on time spent, with rates that would be set in our S.150 letter issued to you if you decide to proceed with our firm.
