Hickey & Co Solicitors fees are calculated by reference to the amount of time reasonably required to supply the services and a reasonable hourly rate, taking into account all the circumstances and complexity of the case. For the purposes of determining the reasonable hourly rate, the circumstances of the case include: the complexity of the issues; the speed at which the services must be supplied; the expertise or specialist knowledge that the services require; and the value of the property, dispute or subject matter involved; liability level or the volume of work involved in a matter. In this regard, Hickey & Co Solicitors’s fee range from £350+VAT per hour to £700+VAT. It may be possible to agree a fixed fee; however, this decision will be taken on a case-by-case basis and will involve an assessment of the above-mentioned factors.
