Fees

Clear Advice. Clear Fees.

Four transparent fee structures, chosen to suit the nature of the matter and confirmed with you before any work begins.

Our approach to fees

You should know the cost before the work starts.


Uncertainty about cost is one of the main reasons businesses delay taking legal advice. Themis addresses that by confirming the scope of the work and the charging structure that applies to it at the outset of every engagement.

Not every matter can be done for a fixed fee - the extent of some work simply cannot be known in advance. Where that is the case, we say so and agree an appropriate structure with you instead.

Legal consulting, clearly defined.

You know what is being done, why it is being done and what it will cost before the work begins.

Clear advice. Clear fees.

Scope and the applicable charging structure are confirmed in writing at the outset of every engagement.

No hidden costs.

Where the scope of a matter changes, the effect on fees is discussed with you before any further work proceeds.

Flexible fee structures.

Fixed-fee work, hourly consulting, project-based fees and ongoing outsourced legal support or retainers.

Please note

Rates are not published on this website. Fees depend on the nature, scope and complexity of the matter, and are quoted to you directly. Themis does not claim that every matter can be handled on a fixed-fee basis.
