Questions

Common questions about fees

Do these fees include government and third-party costs?
Company formation and annual renewal fees include the standard government fees. For residence and citizenship programmes, our fee is the professional fee: government contributions, due diligence fees and investment amounts are payable in addition. Any other third-party costs, such as local counsel, are set out in the engagement letter before work begins.
Are these the final fees?
They are starting prices for a standard engagement. Your fee is confirmed in writing in the engagement letter once we have agreed the scope.
Why fixed fees?
So you know what each stage costs before you commit to it. If the scope changes, we agree the new fee with you first.
What if my matter is larger than these formats?
Larger or more complex matters, such as a multi-year family office implementation, are quoted individually, on the same basis.
How is the fee paid?
Payment terms are set out in the engagement letter, with payments tied to the stages of the work.
