Questions before you begin
What should I prepare?
Start with a short chronology, your objective, the names of other parties and any known deadline. Keep original documents safe. Do not upload identity documents, bank records or a complete legal file through the first enquiry.
How are fees agreed?
Ask for the proposed scope, fee basis and any anticipated third-party costs before agreeing an engagement. No approved price list has been supplied for this website; the assistant cannot estimate a fee.
Does an enquiry create an engagement?
No. Sending an enquiry does not create an engagement, confirm an appointment or suspend a legal deadline. The scope and terms need to be agreed separately.
