Transparency – Service and Fees

We cover the following areas of practice:

• Criminal Law
• Family Law
• Immigration and Human rights
• Civil Law
• Court of protection

We tailor our service to our clients’ individual needs. No 8 Chambers members are flexible and approachable.

Clerks are always available to discuss levels of fees. Our fees are flexible and transparent, to match client budgets. Generally, a disclosable hourly rate will be applied to any advisory work . The more information that we have about a matter, the easier it is to provide an accurate estimate; in circumstances where the instructions are available, we can estimate and agree fees before any chargeable work is undertaken. We are also able to agree fixed fees, but only in circumstances where all information about a matter is available to us.

There will be occasions when circumstances change, for example where more information comes to light; instructions are amended etc, but we will always endeavour to notify clients in advance in circumstances where this may lead to an increase in the fees to be charged.

We always seek to ensure that timescales for providing advice are adhered to but will notify the client if there is likely to be any delay and the reason for the same.

Please contact our clerking team (0121 236 5514) to discuss your needs in more detail and find the appropriate barrister for your case.

We are regulated by the Bar Standards Board.
