Pricing

Our approach to pricing

We approach pricing commercially and value the transparent relationships we have with clients around fees.

We combine competitive rates with relatively lean and efficient partner-led teams. Our experience, across large and small cases, is that this is a highly effective approach to achieving success, providing the best service and doing so efficiently and cost-effectively. We utilise associates across our two offices to generate additional cost savings.

We are open to discussing and working with clients to develop pricing models that work for them, including contingency fees in jurisdictions where that is permitted. We also provide monthly billing, which allows clients to be kept informed about the work that is being done while still fresh in the memory. 

We combine this transparency with a commitment to addressing any concerns raised by our clients.  Above all, we seek to foster long term relationships with our clients that transcend individual bills.

Litigation and arbitration finance

Many of the jurisdictions in which we operate allow parties to obtain external funding for legal fees.  Clients can benefit from third-party funding by shifting the risk and cost of legal fees (either in whole or in part) from their balance sheet to that of a financier.

We have deep experience on both sides of the table. We have worked with third party funders in support of litigation and arbitration claims, including leading one of the very first third party funded arbitrations in Singapore (as recognized in the Financial Times Innovative Lawyer Awards). We have also defended multi-hundred million dollar class actions financed by litigation funders.   

Our clients benefit from the strong relationships we have within the litigation funding industry.
