We believe clients should understand how their legal fees will be charged before work begins.
Our fee arrangements depend on the nature and scope of the matter. We provide clear information about our fees at the outset and, where appropriate, offer fixed fees and ongoing retainer arrangements.
Where the scope of work can be clearly defined, we offer fixed-fee arrangements.
A fixed fee provides certainty as to the cost of a particular piece of work and is well suited to discrete legal services where the work required can be identified in advance.
Before commencing work, we will clearly identify what is included within the fixed fee and any circumstances in which additional work may be required.
Our On Call Retainer is designed for businesses that require ongoing access to legal advice without employing in-house counsel.
For an agreed recurring fee, Dark Legal provides legal support within a defined scope tailored to the requirements of your business.
Working with your business on an ongoing basis allows us to understand its operations, commercial objectives and risk profile. This enables us to provide advice quickly when issues arise and, importantly, identify and address legal risks before they develop into disputes.
For litigation, disputes and other matters where the scope of work cannot reasonably be determined in advance, we will discuss the appropriate fee arrangement with you before commencing work and provide ongoing information about costs throughout the matter.
