The areas where clients compare prices.
The SRA Transparency Rules require firms to publish prices and service information for residential conveyancing, uncontested probate, immigration applications and appeals, motoring offences, employment tribunal claims, debt recovery up to £100,000 and business premises licensing. These are the areas where clients shop around, and where fixed fees are most common.
