Solicitors Fees-How Solicitors Fees Are Calculated in Ireland | BusinessAndLegal.ie

Section 68 of the Solicitors (Amendment) Act of 1994 sets out how solicitors are permitted to charge for services provided to their clients.

S. 68 compels the solicitor to let the client know, in writing,

  • what are the actual charges he intends charging the client or
  • an estimate of the charges where the solicitor feels that it is not possible to calculate the actual charges or
  • the basis on which charges are to be made.

When the solicitor takes instructions from his client he is obliged to provide the information set out above in writing.
