I am regulated by the Bar Standards Board.
The areas in which I undertake work are employment and discrimination law.
Most of my work is undertaken on a fixed fee basis. Some advisory work is undertaken based on an hourly rate of £200 per hour plus VAT.
Typical fees are as follows:
Preliminary Hearing (Case Management): £750 plus VAT
Full/Preliminary Hearing (one day): £1750 plus VAT
Two Day Hearing: £2000 plus VAT Brief Fee. £1000 plus VAT refresher for each day after day one.
Three Day Hearing: £3000 plus VAT Brief Fee. £1000 plus VAT refresher for each day after day one

A brief fee is a payment in respect of the preparation for the hearing and includes the first day of the hearing.
A refresher is a payment for attendance for any day after the first day of the hearing.
If you wish to have a conference, I would typically charge £500 plus VAT in respect of a conference with around 1-2 hours of preparation. Conferences with greater complexity, in terms of the law or in respect of reading time, can cost around £1000 plus VAT and occasionally more.
