KCH Garden Square aims to be transparent & flexible in terms of our pricing structure. The cost of a public access case will depends on a number of factors, from the type of work you require, the seniority of your chosen barrister and the duration of your hearing to the length of time required for the Barrister to prepare and the amount of documentation involved.

Our barristers’ rates for privately funded paperwork generally range from £125 to £350 per hour (plus VAT for those Counsel who are VAT registered), depending on the level of experience and expertise of Counsel.

For hearings we typically agree a fixed rate for attendance or use a brief fee and refresher pricing model for hearings due to last a number of days, as we appreciate our clients often prefer the certainty of a fixed fee.

We will always provide you with a clear quotation for handling your case and we will never complete any work unless you have agreed the relevant costs to do so. You will be asked to pay in advance and you will never be charged for work that you have not already agreed to.

It can be difficult to provide an exact quotation before we have all the information from you and we will always do what we can to assist if you are working to a budget. We have however prepared indicative fees, available below. Please note that our indicative fees are subject to the addition of VAT for those Counsel who are VAT registered.
