Our Fees
We normally charge using the traditional time-based model, but fixed fee and no win, no fee arrangements are available in many cases.
Under the traditional time-based model, we charge for every six-minute unit of time that we spend on your matter.
Our current hourly rates (including GST) are set out below—
| Professional | Hourly rate |
| Partner or consultant | from $325 |
| Senior associate | from $275 |
| Associate | from $250 |
| Registered conveyancer | from $180 |
| Paralegal | from $150 |
| Research assistant | from $150 |
| Support staff | from $82.50 |
See our fixed fees for wills and conveyancing.
Where a range is specified, the rate we will actually charge will depend on the complexity and the urgency of the matter, but this rate will always be agreed with you in advance.
Free Interview
Our first interview is always free, so if you’re not sure whether you need a lawyer or whether you have a case, come speak to us and find out. We can also advise you about how much your matter will cost. Click here for details.
Fixed Fee
We offer fixed fee arrangements for wills, conveyancing, and document drafting for clients who want to avoid the uncertainty of the traditional time-based model. We may be able to offer a fixed fee arrangement in other matters too. Click here for details.
No Win, No Fee
If you have a case but can’t pay for a lawyer, we may be able to offer you our services under a no win, no fee arrangement. No win, no fee arrangements are usually available in personal injury cases and inheritance disputes, but we may be able to offer them in certain other cases too. Click here for details.
