Fees
Ranges and minima for most matters
I will generally discuss a matter with a client or solicitor at no charge to see if the matter is within my expertise and given other considerations.
Pursuant to cost agreements and fee disclosures, for all matters with direct access for advice or when briefed by a solicitor, my current fees as of 15 December 2024 are $800 per hour plus GST. A full day is therefore $6400 plus GST.
For any matter, there will be an initial reading fee of at least three hours or $2,400 plus GST.
Most matters involving advice and submissions are at least $7,200 plus GST.
Unless I judge a matter to be urgent, no legal work will be done unless I have signed cost agreement with a solicitor or client.
