Fees are usually charged either (a) at hourly rate or (b) on a fixed fee basis. The basis of charging will be set out in writing for you.

Where Gannons are asked to give an estimate of the fees that may be incurred, this is only an indication and is not intended to be a fixed quotation.

Gannons will communicate with you by e-mail wherever possible. We cannot guarantee the confidentiality or security of e-mail communications. Gannons do not encrypt emails.
English law governs terms of engagement and any dispute arising out of the terms will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
