Monument Chambers is committed to providing clear, transparent pricing for our clients. Professional, licensed access, and lay clients may contact our clerks at clerks@monumentchambers.com or call 020 3876 7056 to obtain a tailored quotation for legal services.

Pricing Models

We typically charge for our services using one of the following models:

• Hourly Rates: Based on the complexity of the case and the seniority of the barrister.
• Fixed Fees: For specific, well-defined pieces of work (e.g., drafting a document or advising in writing).
• Brief Fees & Refreshers: A fixed brief fee for preparation and the first day of a hearing, followed by a daily “refresher” rate for any subsequent days in court.

Please note: All fees quoted below exclude VAT unless otherwise stated.

Timescales

Timescales for a case may vary depending on factors such as:

• Barrister availability
• The complexity of the case and the volume of documents
• The need for additional documents or evidence
• Court waiting times and listing availability
• Approach taken by the opposing side
