OUR CHARGES

Educational settings are under increasing pressure from local authorities, parents and carers. To meet this challenge, we offer highly competitive rates to ensure that you have access to the most responsive and pro-active legal advice.

The costs of seeking legal advice can sometimes be prohibitive, particularly in the face of dwindling budgets. At SEN4You we strongly believe that legal advice and support should be reasonably priced so as to be affordable to educational settings.

We operate a flexible charging model which includes an initial consultation fees, hourly rates and our one call subscription service.

The costs of instructing us are always explained at the beginning of your engagement with us and depending on how we work with you will be updated as your cases progresses. We believe our fees are competitively priced and represent the best value for money.

INITIAL CONSULTATION

When you contact us for the first time, we will take the details of your case and arrange an initial consultation with you. The cost of the initial consultation is £100.00 (+ VAT) and payment is taken before the consultation takes place. This charge can be paid over the phone or by electronic transfer, whatever is easiest for you.

The consultation takes place over Microsoft Teams, although if you willing to travel we are happy to meet you at our offices. The consultation is a chance for you to meet us directly to see if you would like to work with us. It also gives you the opportunity to ask questions about how we work and how we will progress your case. In advance of the consultation we will consider all relevant documents and we will provide you with advice on your legal options.

HOURLY RATE

We can offer you the following hourly rates if you choose to instruct us on this basis:

£200.00 (+ VAT) per hour for solicitor-advocate
£130.00 (+ VAT) per hour for other fee earners

We would invoice you on a monthly basis and would also be happy for you to make payments on account of costs to assist you in budgeting for the legal support.
