How long will my Application take?
Matters usually take between and 4 and 8 weeks from the receipt of a full instruction from you.

If your matter is more complex, for example, if there is a substantial opposition from interested parties or if there is a delay in receiving the documents we need, it may take longer.
In the case of Applications which are of either medium complexity or higher complexity, we will provide you with an estimate of our fixed fee at the outset of your instructions to us.
