Clear and Transparent Legal Fees
We believe clients should understand the likely cost of their legal matter from the outset. The information on this website is intended to provide clear pricing guidance. Where a range or starting price is shown, the precise fee will depend on the circumstances, complexity and amount of work required. We will confirm the scope of work and the fee applicable to your matter before substantive work begins.
VAT statement
Grey Forge Solicitors is not presently registered for VAT. The VAT treatment of your matter will be confirmed in writing before substantive work begins. Third-party costs and disbursements are charged separately and may include VAT where applicable.
Consultation & instruction
- Initial consultation fee: £200 — payable when booking your first meeting.
- If you instruct us afterwards, this amount is automatically deducted from your final fee so you do not pay twice.
- To open a file and begin work on a matter, a deposit of £500–£750 is required.
