Principles of Transparent Legal Fee Structures

A transparent fee structure is a cornerstone of ethical legal practice, as advocated by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK). At Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates, this means providing detailed breakdowns of all charges, whether hourly, fixed-fee, or retainer-based. We clearly define what is included in our fees and what might incur additional costs, such as disbursements (court fees, expert witness expenses), stamp duty for conveyancing, or specific regulatory filing fees with bodies like the Business Registration Service (BRS). Our commitment extends to explaining the rationale behind fees, ensuring clients appreciate the value and expertise delivered in each case, whether it's corporate law, litigation, or conveyancing.

Our Fee Models: Clarity in Every Case

We offer various fee models to suit different legal needs and client preferences, all underpinned by our commitment to transparency. For complex litigation, an hourly rate may be most appropriate, with regular updates on time spent. For routine transactions like property conveyancing, a fixed fee is often provided, covering all standard procedures and documentation. Corporate advisory services might utilize a retainer model, offering predictable monthly costs for continuous support. We provide written fee agreements outlining all terms, including payment schedules and the scope of services, ensuring alignment with the Advocates Remuneration Order and client expectations.

To illustrate our transparent fee structure, consider these examples in Kenyan Shillings (KES). A standard residential property transfer might range from KES 50,000 to KES 150,000, depending on property value and complexity. Initial consultations for corporate legal advice can be KES 5,000 - KES 15,000, often credited towards future services. Hourly rates for specialized litigation or corporate restructuring typically fall between KES 10,000 and KES 30,000, with detailed invoicing provided. Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates ensures that every KES spent is accounted for and provides value.
