Frequently asked questions

What does your initial consultation cost?

Your first consultation is completely free. We offer a 60 minute call or meeting where we listen to your situation, explain your rights and options, and discuss how we might work together. There's no obligation to proceed with our services.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. We understand that legal costs can be significant. We're willing to discuss payment plans for fixed fees or hourly work. Contact us to discuss what might be possible for your case.

What if my case goes to court?

Most employment cases settle through mediation without going to court. If a case does proceed to the Employment Relations Authority or Employment Court, additional legal fees apply. We'll give you a clear estimate upfront so you know what to expect.

Are there other costs beyond your fees?

Our fees cover our legal work. You may also face costs for filing a claim with the Employment Relations Authority, mediation administration fees (though these are often minimal), and any expert evidence if needed. We'll advise you of likely costs upfront.

Can I get a cost estimate before I commit?

Absolutely. After your initial consultation, we'll provide a written estimate of likely costs for your case based on the fee arrangement we agree on. This helps you make an informed decision about whether to proceed.

What if I can't afford legal representation?

We offer flexible fee options including no win, no fee arrangements for strong cases. We're also happy to provide limited advice on an hourly basis if you want to do some of the work yourself. Contact us to discuss options.

Do you offer discounts for multiple claims?

Yes. If you have multiple employment claims or if several people from the same workplace are claiming, we're willing to discuss reduced rates. Get in touch to discuss your specific situation.

Will I have to pay if I don't win?

It depends on the fee arrangement you choose. With hourly and fixed fees, you pay regardless of outcome (though we only work on cases we believe have merit). No win, no fee arrangements mean you pay nothing if the case is unsuccessful. We'll discuss the right option for you.
