Pricing transparency

Since 6 December 2018, we have been required to provide a range of prices for certain services.

Macfarlanes differentiates itself on:

  • quality, via our reputation for solving our clients’ most complex issues;
  • our partner-led, small and cohesive teams;
  • our independence; and
  • our highly-focused and informed relationships across our clients’ corporate and commercial work and private affairs.

We are unlikely to be the cheapest law firm in the context of any of the services we offer, nor would we strive to be. A commitment to excellence, as opposed to competitive pricing, is at the heart of our offering.

The relevant rules require us to provide you with a range of prices and linked information, including hourly rates, for our residential conveyancing services, our employer tribunal work in relation to defending wrongful and unfair dismissal claims, immigration applications and probate and estate administration services.

Our hourly rates for the services listed above range, depending on who is involved on the matter, from £345 to £1,365 plus VAT. The various fee ranges contained in the pages linked below are based in part — together with other value pricing factors — on those hourly rates.
