If you have a problem please tell us. We will do everything we can to assist you in resolving it. We guarantee our work. If you have a concern, please tell us immediately so we can deal with it immediately.

The fees listed are the normal ones charged and do not include disbursements or GST. Where substantial extra work is required, our fees will reflect the additional work. We reserve the right to change our fees, service charges and disbursement policies without notice. All government fees are subject to change without notice. All invoices should read "E&OE" - Errors and Omissions Excepted.

Please be specific about the time requirements. 'Rush', 'Urgent' and 'ASAP' can be ambiguous.

Urgent files: If you are sending something urgently by courier, please advise us in advance so we can monitor its arrival. If you are sending us a large, time-consuming file, especially towards the end of the day, tell us so that we can schedule our staffing to give it the priority it requires.
