In most cases, we charge for time spent on the basis of a previously agreed hourly rate. The fee then consists of the actual time spent on a case multiplied by the agreed hourly rate. The time is registered on a timesheet. The client can always ask for an overview of the time spent. Agreeing a fixed fee is possible in cases that qualify and in which the work is transparent and clearly defined. It is always the advocate or junior advocate who assesses if a case qualifies. For collection of money claims the best billing method is collection via an agreed fixed percentage of the amount of money eventually collected for the client. The collected amount is always deposited on behalf of the client into one of the third-party accounts of our firm. A combination of the mentioned billing methods is also possible. All fees are exclusive of 10% VAT and exclusive of other costs (such as office costs, costs for requesting excerpts, certificates, bailiff costs, court registry fees, etc.). Sewcharan & Pick does not work on a “no cure no pay” basis.
