FEES
Our fees are generally charged at an hourly rate based on the nature and complexity of the matter, also taking into consideration the risk associated with the matter.
In cases where the scope of work can be defined upfront, we offer alternative billing arrangements such as agreeing on a fixed fee for work to be done, this will give you certainty and peace of mind that there will not be any unexpected legal fees. Matters that more often than not fall within this category are drafting and vetting of agreements and attending to unopposed matters (e.g. unopposed divorce).
We have an innovative approach to structuring our fees and accordingly invite you to contact us to discuss your matter with us to see how we can structure your fee arrangement.
To guarantee satisfaction and that both parties are on the same page regarding the fee structure, we will require you to sign our standard engagement letter, which will define the scope of work to be attended to, the method of calculating our fee and the payment terms.
FICA
Since the inception of the Financial Intelligence Centre Act, no. 38 of 2001, attorneys are deemed to be an ‘accountable institution’ and therefore, should you decide to entrust us with your legal work, we will require you to supply us with certain information prior to us commencing with any work, the necessary forms will be given to you as and when required.
