This is a payment on your behalf to a third party, for services required to be obtained as part of providing a legal service to you.
We may incur disbursements from third parties such as barristers, searching agents, councils and regulatory authorities.
For example, in a conveyancing matter, there are a number of essential searches and certificates that must be obtained in order to fulfil disclosure requirements or perform adequate due diligence.
We endeavour to give you as accurate a picture as possible of the anticipated disbursements in your matter when we first advise you, and update those estimates when and if they change.
