Our professional fees are generally calculated on an hourly basis with respect to time which is spent on a matter and the value of our work to the client. The approximate hourly rates range between R 2 500.00 - R 3 500.00 per hour or part thereof. This typically applies to services involving the taking of instructions; time spent performing research, drafting or reviewing agreements, opinions, reports, annexures, exhibits, pleadings, letters, emails, making and receiving telephone calls, travelling time and attending meetings and court. Disbursements (for example, the costs of national and international telephone calls, telefax charges, copying and print charges, advocates and expert fees, correspondent’s fees, travelling costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred in the performance of our mandate are charged separately.

The above-quoted fees exclude VAT.
