Fee Policies

We offer three basic arrangements:

  • Contingency fee
  • Flat rate
  • Hourly rate

In some cases, we offer an alternative option or a fee arrangement which consists of a combination of options.

 

Contingency fee

Our fee will be a percentage of the amount we collect on your behalf as a result of negotiations or court action. You pay no fees unless and until we collect money for you. Personal injury cases, for example, are usually handled in this way.

 

Flat rate

We will quote you a fixed amount which includes our legal fees, disbursements (these are expenses we incur on your behalf, e.g. in searching government registries, payment of courier services, etc.) and HST.

 

Hourly rate

The charge is a certain amount per hour, which will vary depending on the nature of the matter and the experience of the lawyer working on the file.
