Once you’ve found the lawyer or firm that is right for you, the price of the legal services rendered will depend on a variety of factors. These include; the complexity of the case, the length of time that the case will take, and the type of legal service being undertaken.

Fee structure will also vary. While some lawyers charge an hourly rate for their billable hours, some provide built-in incentives. For example, legal fees may include a percentage of the settlement won or be contingent on the successful execution of the legal action. This is particularly common in labour law suits. Lawyers engaged in litigation for a labour law case will normally ask for a percentage of the sum awarded.
