Fixed fee to be agreed prior to work commencing with the Private Client Department (or later, by agreement). Alternatively, charges will be raised on the fee earner's hourly rate. All of our Estate Administration work will be handled by Naomi Pinder, a qualified Solicitor with 30 years’ experience. Naomi’s hourly rate is £200.00 plus VAT per hour. One unit of work is costed at £20.00 plus VAT (see below for an explanation of what equates to one unit of work). Attendances, consideration of documents, and preparation of any paperwork will be calculated in increments of 6 minutes, which is classed as one unit. For example, this means that if we are in attendance with you or we are considering documents for 35 minutes, this will be 6 units. Letters/emails sent and telephone calls made or received will be calculated as one unit each, unless they are longer than a standard call or letter, in which case the time taken will be calculated. Letters/emails received are charged at half a unit each. You will be provided with itemised bills, showing what work has been carried out throughout your matter. Disbursements may be payable to third parties.
