COSTS
We are committed to delivering a quality service. Years of experience has taught us at Townsends that litigation can be expensive and can eat into much needed capital and resources. Our aim is to maximise your financial settlement without wasting precious time and money.
Our first one hour meeting with you is charged at a discounted rate of £160 plus VAT. Please refer to our terms for up to date hourly rates. Once we have an understanding about your case we can give you an estimate of what your costs are likely to be depending on the stage at which you settle your case and we can talk you through how best to fund your case.
If after the first meeting you decide to instruct Townsends, we will confirm your estimated fees and expenses in a client care agreement and will update you regularly throughout your case through invoicing and reviewing our costs estimate.
Please see our information about fixed costs on our Fixed Costs page.
Our fees are subject to VAT which will be included in the invoices that we send to you. You may also have other expenses to cover such as court fees, expert’s charges and barrister’s fees. These charges will also be included in your invoice.
We know that going to court can be expensive. Sometimes you do not have a choice because your ex-partner is not prepared to negotiate or compromise. Every effort will be made to keep your case out of the court arena. Going to court is very much seen as a last resort unless there are issues of domestic violence and you and the children need protecting. Other avenues will be encouraged such as mediation and voluntary negotiations before we advise you to involve the court.
