How we are paid
You will always know our charges before you make a decision to proceed. We have a transparent charging structure, so that you can be sure we are working efficiently for your benefit.
Our charges are based upon the provision of our qualified and professional expertise, the time taken to analyse your circumstances and devise an appropriate strategy going forward and the design of a report to communicate this strategy to you.
