Each project and instruction is different and Robin prefers to link any fee with the amount of benefit or value he is providing on each occasion.

Robin normally works on a ‘fixed fee’ basis, agreed in advance between him and the client so that matters are clear and transparent and to avoid any surprises.  Please contact him with an outline of the requirements you may have so that a proposal can be provided by clicking here.

Robin travels all over the UK for his instructions, regularly attending hearings in Edinburgh, Cardiff, Belfast as well as London and therefore although based in London, will travel wherever he is needed.

Any travel costs, always at standard/’no frills’ fares, will either be included in any daily rate or fee proposal or will be clearly set out in advance, prior to any agreement.
