Fixed-fee divorce service
What is a fixed-fee divorce?
A fixed-fee divorce is where you pay a set amount for the legal expertise and services required to obtain your divorce. We understand that financial uncertainty can add stress to an already difficult time. Our fixed-fee divorce packages eliminate this worry, giving you confidence and clarity about your costs on this side of your case from day one.
We are proud to be one of the very first legal practices for high-net-worth individuals to guarantee to offer fixed-fee packages, no matter how complicated, and including all the financial and children issues that may stem from your divorce.
Our fixed fee for dealing with your divorce proceedings (where jurisdiction is not disputed, and excluding any advice relating to your children finance) is £1,500 plus VAT. Fixed fee proposals will also be offered to you, on a bespoke basis, for any contested divorce, or jurisdiction challenge that you may need to resolve.
What’s included in our fixed-fee packages?
- Comprehensive legal advice at each stage of your case.
- Preparation and filing of all necessary documents with the same care and attention we apply to hourly-rate work.
- Transparent and open communication with you and your spouse or partner’s lawyers.
- Upfront fixed fees with no hidden charges or surprises.
Fixed-fees vs. Traditional hourly rates for your Divorce, Financial and Children proceedings
| Fixed-fee | Traditional hourly charging | |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Cost | Agreed price with no hidden fees for each stage of work, with no surprises. | Costs vary based on the complexity of the case and how much time is spent on your case, and can lead to bills that are far higher than expected every month. It is, of course, possible for less cost to be incurred on an hourly rate, but in our experience, that rarely happens. |
| 2. Transparency | Full clarity on pricing from the earliest possible date. | Costs can fluctuate, making it harder to predict the final expense. |
| 3. Timeframe | Streamlined process with a structured timeline that can often result in cases being resolved more quickly and efficiently. | Can take longer without the structure of a pre-agreed timetable. |
| 4. Stress level | Lower stress due to clear pricing and a structured process, and funds paid upfront. | Can be more stressful due to the unpredictability in cost and duration and the impact of unexpected bills and demands on your finances. |
