We are mindful of the competitive nature of the corporate world and the Universal concern to keep costs down.  Although our fees  are based on scale,  we encourage our  clients  to  enter into  an  agreement  for fees.

Agreements  allow  negotiation  between  the  Advocate  and  clients  and almost invariably lead to lower costs to the clients. In debt recovery we have a two-tier approach .  Unless the client has already exhausted all
options debts are in the first instance pursued out of court by the debt collection unit.  At that level we do not charge any fees if we do not recover. 

Fees are charged on the actual amount recovered on scale that are negotiated before hand and reduced to a fee agreement. Once recovery moves to the courts we are bound by the Advocate Act which outlaws contingency fees. Fees for court work are on the remuneration order and a minimal deposit to fees is requested on instructions or otherwise as may be agreed with the
client.
