Legal Costing and Support in Australia

Costs disputes can be technical, so start by asking what exactly the business will do for you: preparing a bill, reviewing one you have received, or objecting to a charge. Ask how they explain their fees up front and whether you will get a written scope of work before anything begins. Check that they are properly qualified for the work and carry appropriate professional insurance. Where rules differ by state, ask which jurisdiction they usually work in. Keep your documents together, including the original agreement and any bills, before you make contact. Request quotes from a few listings and compare the answers.
