Fee options

 We charge for the task (stage) that you task us to do, not the time that it takes us to do it.

After meeting with you to discuss your legal issues, we estimate the work that is required at each stage of your matter and provide you with a fixed fee quote for the first step (stage one)  and each future step that may arise (e.g. stages 2, 3 and 4) that is:

1.       Tailored to your individual case needs;
2.       Specific to the scope/stage of work that is required in your matter;
3.       Updated if required to accommodate your changing legal needs.

Our fixed fees are offered to you in stages (scopes), e.g. drafting Applications and Consent Orders or Binding Agreements, preparation and attendance at mediation, preparation and completion of settlements as separate fixed fee agreements. With each stage of work you instruct us to complete, you are made aware of the fixed fee for the next stage/s, if required. Upon completion of each stage of work, you decide whether to progress to the next stage, pursuant to a further fixed fee agreement, keeping you in control of your costs.

We invoice for our services on a monthly basis, charging for the work completed in that month up to the fixed fee agreed.

If the scope of the work or your legal needs change, a variation agreement is discussed and agreed with you in writing.

JustFund can help you unlock funds tied up in your property early in your separation process, so you can access the right advice, ease the financial burden and achieve a fair outcome. A JustFund line of credit can be used to pay your legal bills and disbursements. Unlike a traditional loan, you don't need to pay anything back until it's all over and you've finalised your property settlement.
