OUR FEES STRUCTUREWe
seek to always keep our fees transparent and very competitive. Being
easily accessible from the Centre of London through an excellent
network of transport communications to Wimbledon SW19 and yet avoiding
the high overhead costs of a City or West End firm we are able to pass
on those low operating costs to our clients in highly competitive rates
without compromising quality.
ESTIMATES OR AGREED FEES? Our fees will vary according to the complexity of your case and certain other factors. We can either agree a fixed fee with you where it is possible to predict with some certainty how much time will be required to complete the work. Sometimes our clients prefer to have such certainty to enable them to budget. However, at times where this is difficult we may give an estimate for our fees based upon our hourly rates (described below). This may in fact work out better as we will only charge for the actual work undertaken in accordance with the time recording on the file. AGREED FEES If you prefer to deal with us by way of an agreed fee we would agree a fee in writing with you. We would ask you for a proportion of our fee at the outset and the remainder either in instalments or as a lump sum before the submission of the application. Example ranges of agreed fees (subject to agreement and complexity): Sponsorship Licensing: Tier 2 and Tier 4 - £1000 to £2750 Tier 1 Entrepreneur - £1500 to £2000 Tier 1 General - £800 to £1500 Tier 1 Post Study Work - £500 to £600 Leave to remain - £500 to £900 Entry Clearance - £400 to £900 Appeals: £1500 to £3000 HOURLY RATES & ESTIMATED FEES We normally request fees in advance of undertaking the work and would request a sum on account at the outset. We will then request further fees in instalments as we keep working on your file. We can deliver an interim or final bill at an appropriate stage. We have a scaled hourly rate in accordance with the size of the organisation and depending upon whether to you are an employer or an individual. We believe this is the fairest way to charge for our services as some individuals or smaller employers may not be able to afford a standard chargeable rate which would otherwise be applicable. Hourly rates for attendance and preparation: |
| Employers and institutions | Individuals |
| Micro (0-9 employees) - £100 ph | All applications except those below are at - £90ph |
| Small (10 to 19 employees) - £125 ph | Tier 1 Entrepreneur - £125ph |
| Medium (20 to 49 employees) - £175ph | Tier 1 Investor - £175ph |
| Large (50 and above) - £200ph |
| Travel
and waiting is charged at half the hourly rate. Disbursements (i.e.
third party fees such as UKBA or visa fees, translators, interpreters,
doctors) will be chargeable in addition to our own fees. ONE-OFF FIXED FEE INTERVIEW We can also offer an initial (or one-off) fixed fee diagnostic interview for £90 of up to one hour of advice (plus the costs of an interpreter, if required) to enable a prospective client: * to identify and understand the legal issues * to identify possible solutions and strategy * to obtain a second opinion * to obtain an estimate of costs and time scale to resolve your problem |
