I was asked to pay a legal fee…
I was asked to pay a legal fee contribution for advice provided by this firm, and my experience of the invoicing process was disappointing.
The fee arrangement was not made clear to me as the paying party. I understood that I had agreed to contribute up to a maximum amount, but I was not provided with the quote, terms, or a clear explanation of the charges in advance.
The first invoice I received included professional fees plus an additional service charge, taking the total above the amount I understood had been agreed. After I queried it, a revised invoice was issued with the professional fees reduced and a different admin/verification charge included within the total.
The final amount may have been adjusted, but the process felt unclear and frustrating. As the party being asked to pay, I would have expected more transparency around the fee structure, additional charges, and the basis of the invoice from the outset.
Overall, I found the experience disappointing and not as clear or transparent as I would expect from a professional services firm.
