our approach to fees

Where we can, we lump sum fees for our services. In the field of legal services, this practice is unique.

The lump sum fee approach reflects our client’s requirements for certainty.

We run our matters much like a project. We believe if our clients can produce heavy engineering solutions, building and developments within time and cost so can we.

We fix our fees where we can. Although we fix our fees, counsel fees, expert’s fees and other disbursements and suppliers costs may not be fixed

What you can expect to pay

We only employ senior personnel. When you engage Vincent CCL you can be assured that the person leading the project will be the person who completes the services.

As a guide, our rates are as follows:
Senior claim consultant $180 - $250 per hour
Senior construction lawyer $300 - $375 per hour

As a rule, we try to structure dispute costs so that they do not exceed 30% – 40% of the dispute.

Security of Payments Act preparation
Our fees for adjudication preparation approximately range from: $3000 to $30 000 (for major matters).

Breakdown of fees and costs

Our clients come to us for certainty of our fees.

Cost estimates
Like any sound project estimator we provide a detailed costing of our work in advance for all areas of our services where we have the facts. Click here for sample cost estimate.

Program
Unlike other legal or consultancy firms in Australia we will also provide you with a timeline program with milestone dates that we intend to meet. You can monitor your matter’s progress on the program.

We see little difference between our tasks and those to be performed by you for one of your own clients.

Photocopying
Unlike other legal firms, we don’t place a margin on items such as photocopying and stationery. For these items we simply charge at cost.
