We use the services of Counsel in complex Multi day’s hearings. The Counsel/Barristers fees will be obtained and passed on to you before Counsel is instructed. Junior Barristers can charge between £1500 for a 1 hour hearing and £5,000 for a full days hearing.
You can ask us to instruct Counsel in your matter and we reserve the right to instruct Counsel to attend your matter at court. The Counsel, level of calling, their instruction, fees etc. will be discussed with you before we intercut Counsel.
If we attend the Hearing with Counsel we will charge £1200 for one day or £1,000 or less for multiple days hearing which is not unusual in Employment law matters.
