Instructing us

May we stress that you can call us at anytime to discuss a concern, need or issue and that there is no fee or obligation for such a conversation. We would only want to assist you further if you wanted and needed that and indeed if we are the right people for you, so an initial conversation is helpful all round.

If you do decide you would like Altmore Business Law to support your business need, the Solicitors Regulation Authority requires us to provide a letter of engagement. Among other matters the letter will describe the assignment, set out your arrangement with us regarding fees and incorporate terms of engagement operating for your benefit and ours.

The terms of engagement and related materials may be viewed and or downloaded from the Back office and we are happy, of course, to answer any questions and to discuss them with you.

Some clients prefer fees to be charged according to time deployed. Here we will provide you with an estimate where possible at the outset and will provide interim reports. Some clients, particularly on larger transactions prefer to instruct us on a fixed fee basis. We are usually able to accommodate this.

Altmore is open to agreeing some other fee arrangement with you whilst balancing the commitment both to add significant value and to price competitively. All fees are quoted exclusive of VAT and of disbursements, such as fees for barristers or Companies House search fees.

We hope very much that during your time with Altmore you will provide a few minutes of feedback at several points in the assignment as described in Your views to assist the firm constantly to improve its service provision.
