Our Service Delivery Approach
Regardless of which service you require, we follow consistent principles in how we work with clients.
Initial Consultation
We begin with thorough discussion of your matter to understand objectives and circumstances. This foundation informs all subsequent work and ensures our advice addresses your actual needs.
Transparent Fees
We explain our fee structure clearly before commencing work. You understand costs involved and can make informed decisions. We provide regular updates on fees as matters progress.
Regular Communication
We keep you informed throughout the process with updates at key stages. You can contact us with questions at any time. We respond to communications promptly and comprehensively.
Quality Focus
We allocate sufficient time and resources to handle matters properly. Rushing increases risk of oversight. We prioritise getting work right over completing it rapidly.
Understanding Our Fees
We structure our fees according to the type of work involved and the complexity of matters.
Hourly Rate Services
Contract review and drafting, along with dispute resolution, are charged at hourly rates. This reflects the variable nature of work involved in these matters. We track time carefully and provide detailed billing information.
Contract Review & Drafting
£350/hour
Dispute Resolution
£275/hour
Fixed Fee Services
Property transactions are charged at a fixed fee per transaction. This provides cost certainty for what is typically a predictable process. Additional disbursements such as search fees are charged separately at cost.
Property Transactions
£1,200/transaction
Plus disbursements (searches, registration fees, etc.)
Payment Terms
We typically request payment on account before commencing work, with final billing upon matter completion. We discuss payment arrangements during initial consultation and can accommodate reasonable requests regarding payment timing.
Why Clients Choose Pemberton Law
Our service distinguishes itself through consistent application of principles that serve clients effectively.
Focused Expertise
We concentrate on three core practice areas rather than attempting to cover all legal fields. This focus allows us to develop particular depth in matters we handle regularly. Our experience shows in the quality and efficiency of our work.
Clear Communication
We prioritise making legal matters understandable. Technical accuracy matters, but so does accessibility. Clients benefit most when they comprehend the advice they receive and can make informed decisions based on clear understanding.
Thorough Approach
We allocate sufficient time to handle matters properly. Rushing increases risk of oversight. Our commitment to thoroughness applies consistently across all work, regardless of apparent simplicity. Details often prove more significant than initial assessment suggests.
Honest Assessment
We provide realistic evaluation rather than optimistic predictions. Understanding actual prospects, including limitations and risks, allows clients to make decisions with eyes open. Honesty serves clients better than false reassurance.
