Fees & Funding: Your Justice, Our Passion

We're here to help you

Send your details to us and we will call you back to take further information about your matter.

Legal fees should not be a burden and we are committed to providing clear and transparent fees at the outset. That’s why we provide all clients simple prices and no hidden fees.

Our charges are not just based on the time we spend on your case – we also take into account the complexity, urgency and the value that it will provide you. We will provide you with a variety of funding options and tailored fee packages depending on your case and this will be discussed with you before any work commences.

In all cases, we will assess all options for funding and agree with you on the best and most cost-effective way forward.

24/7 Enquiry Line

In all cases our client services team will discuss your matter in general and they will confirm the most cost-effective and reasonable way forward. If your case is very straightforward you may not need to instruct a solicitor and we can suggest how to progress the matter yourself. If your case does require further progression we will likely arrange an Initial Meeting with a solicitor to discuss legal options and a strategy.

Strategy Meeting

For matters requiring further progression, we offer a Strategy Meeting for a fixed fee, with no time limit for new legal matters. This meeting can be held in our offices, via phone/video, or at a convenient location. It’s a chance to understand your legal options and costs involved. However, some complex cases might not fit under our fixed fee structure; in such scenarios, we’ll discuss alternative funding options with you.

Fixed Fees

Further to the Strategy Meeting, we may be able to enter into a fixed fee price for specific work. This will generally be the case in straightforward matters such as uncontested divorces. Fixed fees are also generally available if you require advocacy and representation at a hearing.

Interest-Free Payment Plans

We are one of the only law firms in the country to always offer an interest-free payment plan for fixed-fee work. Other firms tend to insist on you paying your entire fee upfront for work that can take money months, however, we understand that this is not practical for everyone and we provide you with the flexibility of spreading your payments for fixed-fee work over the course of a few months.

Time Worked / Hourly Fees

Our client services team will assess your case to advise on the best and most cost-effective approach. For straightforward matters, we might guide you on handling it yourself. If needed, we’ll arrange a meeting with a solicitor to discuss legal strategies and options.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Aleeza Khan highly enough. Throughout what has been an incredibly stressful and emotional period for me and my family, Aleeza has been professional, compassionate, thorough and incredibly supportive.

What has stood out most is that I have always felt listened to. Aleeza takes the time to explain things clearly, goes through important documents with me properly and makes sure I understand both where I stand and what happens next. She has always responded to my questions with patience and has never made me feel that anything I have raised is unimportant.

Her communication has been excellent throughout. She is honest and straightforward while still showing genuine empathy for the people behind the case, which has made an enormous difference during some very difficult and uncertain moments.

I am also incredibly grateful for the encouragement she has given me personally. Having someone recognise the effort I have been putting in and take the time to tell me that has meant more than she probably realises.

Aleeza clearly cares about achieving the best outcome for the families she represents rather than simply treating matters as another case file. I have felt supported, informed and properly represented throughout.

Thank you, Aleeza, for everything you have done and continue to do. I am genuinely grateful to have had you representing and supporting me through this process. You are an absolute credit to your profession and to Southgate Solicitors.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I needed to sign a paper in front of a solicitor. The service Lucy Cornish provided was very quick and effective. There's no doubt I would use them again if needed.
