My hourly rate is £50.00 per hour, this rate reflects what I would expect to achieve in much of my independent work.
My charging structure reflects how I charge the professional agencies I work for. It is also a structure that is used by many solicitors. My time is separated into units (1 unit = 6 minutes), 1 hour is equal to 10 units. Therefore 1 hour is equal to 10 units @ £5 = £50 per hour.
In terms of reading, I estimate 1.5 minutes per page of text. Therefore 100 pages of text would take 150 minutes divide by 6 = 25 units (£125.00 to read 100 pages).
Court attendance - I can attend court and have a flat rate of £200 for 1/2 day (up to 4 hours) or £400 for a full day (over 4 and up to 8 hours), this is inclusive of travel. This is within a 50-mile radius of Chesterfield (other areas by agreement).
There are no upfront charges and work will be charged individually following the completion of each piece of work. Cleared payment is required before further work is started. This secures cashflow and ensures the client is in full control of the final bill.
