Doing These 3 Things Will Reduce Your Legal Fees

legal fees


1.    Come prepared

Ideally, before a meeting, you will have discussed with your solicitor what you might need to bring. In addition to this, you should have in your mind a clear idea of the things that need to be addressed. For example, if your meeting is to discuss a dispute:

  • Prepare a timeline of the relevant facts and email it to your solicitor before the meeting
  • Bring with you any documents that might be relevant (such as contracts and emails)

Coming prepared with this information will mean less time after the meeting requesting information, and will avoid delay in progressing your matter.


2.    Be available & responsive

Countless calls and emails for instructions result in delay and increased costs. Regularly check your email and be available via phone (or arrange phone calls in advance to avoid phone tag).

Being thorough in your instructions and providing documents when they are requested quickly will mean your solicitor can focus their time on what is important – progressing your matter.


3.    Share the load

Organising hundreds of emails into chronological order and placing them into a folder does not necessarily require a lawyer’s set of skills. If you have the time or can delegate the job within your organisation, providing large volumes of material in an organised and logical manner will mean you are not paying someone else to do it for you.

"I would highly recommend Ben and the Rouse Lawyers team"

We are expanding our growing business into new areas. Ben Thorn took the time to understand our needs and delivered timely and expert advice. In addition to his coverage of the commercial transactions, Ben guided us through each step of the process of registering our trade mark. I would highly recommend Ben and the Rouse Lawyers team.

"Smooth, affordable and manageable"

“We recently engaged Rouse Lawyers to assist us in purchasing our first home. The support we received from Jesse Mason and his team was invaluable, easing the overwhelming emotions of being first time homebuyers. He supported us to understand both the land and home contracts, walking us through the process and promptly responding to any concerns, which made the whole process smooth, affordable and manageable”.

"I would definitely recommend Robert Montes at Rouse Lawyers"

We approached Rouse Lawyers due to a shareholder dispute that we needed assistance with. This dispute was very upsetting to us as it involved other family members. Robert Montes was more than helpful with this tricky situation and we were able to solve all issues quite swiftly. Robert was very professional and was able to offer sound advice that greatly improved the outcome. I really liked the way in which he made us feel comfortable with talking to him and then the way in which he then dealt with and executed solutions. I would definitely recommend Robert Montes at Rouse lawyers to people who are looking for assistance and in particular with shareholder disputes. The experience as a whole was very positive and we were able to settle the dispute with minimum fuss.
