Price transparency

The Bar Standards Board, the body that regulates barristers, requires all barristers to be open about price and service, so that you have the information you need to make an informed choice. I am committed to being as open as I can about the likely cost of working with me, as early as possible.

How fees are set

The cost of instructing me varies with the work you need. A matter may be straightforward or complex. It may involve a large or a modest volume of documents. It may raise difficult legal questions, or well-settled ones. And the value and importance of what is at stake will differ from case to case. All of that affects the fee.

It is not always possible to give complete certainty about cost at the outset, but I aim for the maximum openness from the start. Where I can, I will agree a fixed fee up front, so you know the cost before you commit.

Getting a quote

For a quotation, email me at enquiries@michaelsalter.net with a short outline of the work. I will confirm the fee before any work begins.
