All costs always include VAT.​

 ​£250 (fixed fee)

  • ‘Pay As You Go’ ​(for general help/advice):​​
​£250 (per hour)
  • ​‘Capped Fee’ (for SEND Tribunal appeals only, where you are charged only for work done, then your fees are capped):

N.B All work charged at £250 per hour/​Unused monies always returned at end of case

'Fixed Fee'.
However, as we know that some people sometimes cannot afford for us to do everything for them,
we will also do individual pieces of work for them for a 'Fixed Fee'.

We set these out on the table below and compare them with our 'Capped Fee'.
