Problem: Many corporate service providers charge flat fees BUT they add hourly rates, disbursements or other hidden extras. We know that some even rely on timesheet targets, encouraging overbilling.
What Could Have Gone Wrong?
- Clients often received inflated bills that exceeded initial estimates.
- Non-lawyers were sometimes straying into quasi-legal advice without proper insurance coverage.
Our Intervention:
- We reject timesheet and disbursement practices.
- Offer clients fixed, all-inclusive fees with no hidden charges.
- Ensure clear separation of corporate secretarial and legal work, with legal tasks handled properly at fair fixed fees.
Positive Outcome:
- Clients gained cost certainty and avoided “bill shock.”
- We reinforced our reputation for transparency and fairness.
- Our stance positions wb.group as a trusted alternative to opaque providers.
