How much will I have to pay for legal advice?
How are legal fees decided?
Will there be any extra expenses?

It is likely that you will be required to contribute towards ‘disbursements’ or out-of-pocket expenses that we incur on your behalf. Some typical examples of disbursements include:

  • A doctor's fee for providing a medical report
  • Stamp duty costs
  • Court fees payable for registering an action.

The precise amount of your legal costs will vary depending on a number of factors including the work performed to prepare your matter, its complexity and the stage at which it is resolved.

In many successful cases a percentage of your legal costs - often a high percentage - may be recovered from the other party.

What about the costs of going to court?
If my court case is not successful, will I have to pay costs for the other party?
