How Fees Are Structured 

At Farhad Ahmed Solicitors, we believe clients should have clear information about legal costs before deciding whether to instruct a solicitor. We therefore publish price information in line with the Solicitors Regulation Authority’s Transparency Rules.

Fees may be offered as fixed fees, fee ranges or hourly rates depending on the matter. A fixed fee will be confirmed in writing after an initial consultation, once the full circumstances of your case are understood.
