The end of a relationship can be one of the most challenging and uncertain times in life. During this period, you need compassionate support and practical advice to navigate the process effectively. Having financial certainty can also provide you with the confidence to move forward. Our Fixed Fee family law services aim to offer you peace of mind and clarity during this difficult time.

What are fixed fees?

Fixed fees are a billing system where the cost of legal services is predetermined and agreed upon at the outset of the engagement. This system provides clients with clarity and transparency regarding their legal expenses, allowing them to plan and budget effectively.

How do fixed fees work?

In our Fixed Fee family law practice in Western Australia, we provide clients with an exact fee for each stage of work required in their legal matter. This includes clearly defining the scope of the work included, the amount to be charged, and when it will be billed. By quoting for each stage of the matter, clients always know what the next step will be and how much it will cost.

This approach ensures that our fees are tailored to the individual needs of each client and reflect the exact work needed to progress their legal matter. It provides clients with certainty and reassurance, allowing them to be in control of their legal costs throughout the process.

Example

Bill Bloggs’ marriage has broken down and his former wife has made an urgent application to divide the property of the marriage.

We firstly provide him with a quote for a fixed fee to cover the drafting and filing of his responding documents and to represent him at the first court hearing.

We will then provide a new fixed fee quote after the initial court attendance once we know how the court has ordered the matter to progress. For example, we might provide a fixed fee to attend mediation, to draft consent orders or to represent Bill at a future court attendance.

By providing you with a quote once we know exactly what comes next, we can provide cost certainty every step of the way, giving you peace of mind.

Why choose fixed fees?

• Cost certainty – fixed fees allow you to plan for the financial commitment of legal fees.
• Risk reduction – the lawyer is responsible for scoping work, and this reduces the risk of ‘billing blow outs’ affecting you.
• The focus is on results & outcomes – our lawyers are motivated to get work done promptly and achieve results.
• Agreed scope and value of the work to be performed for you.
• No nasty billing surprises!
