Our fixed-fee divorce & family law solicitors in London can represent you in your divorce and family law matter on a fixed-fee basis with flexible payment options. We accept payment of our affordable fixed fees by instalments.
A Fixed Fee Arrangement is an alternative to the standard hourly rate used by divorce and family law solicitors, with a fixed price for each stage of legal work. An agreed fixed fee is not dictated by the time spent on the case. The agreed fixed fee gives certainty of legal costs and thus enables you to budget for your lawyer’s fees for divorce and family law matters.
Our agreed fixed fee for divorce and family law cases covers all the work until we receive a written decision for the stage of the divorce or family law matter for which you have instructed us. Please be advised that our agreed fixed fee does not cover third-party charges, such as court fees or Barrister's fees. We charge affordable fixed fees with an option to pay by instalments.
