Introducing the fixed fee scheme

"Since I became Head of Chambers my aim has been to ensure 4KBW can continue to meet our clients needs in an increasingly competitive market. That means two things.

First, we must offer the highest standards in advocacy. 4KBW can rightly pride itself on a distinguished history in this area. Some of the finest advocates in the last 30 years have passed through these doors.

Second, we must be responsive to our clients’ needs. An important aspect of that is to be able to provide our services at a price that is reasonable, competitive and fair.

I am therefore pleased that we are one of the first Chambers in the Temple, if not the very first, to offer fixed fee representation for certain types of hearings in London’s county courts.

The scheme covers a range of the more common hearings before District Judges – for example mortgage possession actions, return of goods, directions hearings and small claims trials.

The advantages to you and your clients are obvious. You have the comfort of knowing the fees you are charged will be levied on an entirely predictable basis. There are no hidden extras. This website contains all the relevant details.

You also have the assurance that you will be represented by a well qualified and experienced advocate who holds a Bar Council practising certificate, higher court advocacy rights and professional indemnity insurance.

Last but not least I believe the quality of representation we are offering means our fixed fees represent the best value for money around."
