Some matters are of a speculative nature and will need to be charged on an hourly rate. For many other matters, however, costs can be anticipated and a fixed fee may apply. This means fees will be capped and there are no surprise costs, giving you the opportunity to plan financially for your legal fees.
In some circumstances you may be able to arrange a payment schedule with the firm.
Some matters are more complex and will require additional payments for things such as barrister’s fees, search fees, courier fees, the cost of expert consultants, medical reports, telephone, charges, filing and lodgement fees, banking charges, government revenue charges, postage, process servers and investigators, agents’ fees including interstate lawyers, external consultants, travel and accommodation, witness fees, transcript fees as applicable.
Gilmore Lawyers will provide a written client retainer agreement setting out our fees and schedule of payment prior to commencing work on your matter. In most cases we require payment to be made to our trust account before acting as your legal representatives.
