Pricing
Honest, predictable fees for high-stakes work.
Most clients want two things from a fee structure: clarity, and not being charged for time spent learning their case. We agree fees up front, in writing, before any work begins. Where we can quote a fixed fee for a defined stage, we will. Where the work is genuinely open-ended, we work hourly with regular updates and an estimated cap.
