How we charge

A “virage” is a sharp bend in the road, not unlike a separation or divorce… When your relationship takes a turn for the worse, we will guide you through your separation and its aftermath, but we will not take you for a ride. We are cost conscious.

Our fixed-fee pricing - capped fees

We challenge traditional pricing practices by offering fixed fees for all our services – we are good value.

Taking the nature and complexity of your circumstances into account, we will quote a capped fee for every stage of your matter, which we will not exceed regardless of the time we spend on it. Capped pricing gives you financial certainty and allows you to benchmark our fees against the hourly rates used by other firms.

Virage Legal is one of only a handful of firms in Australia that offer fixed-fee services in all family law matters. This alternative pricing enables us to focus on the outcomes YOU want, rather than on the hours WE can bill.

What's in it for you?

You will not need to write a blank cheque. You can budget your costs with certainty of mind. If the matter takes longer than initially planned, because of its complexity, or the other party’s conduct, or a need for more resources, we, not you, will bear the extra cost

What's in it for us?

We prefer doing real legal work. Our approach to pricing ensures that we do not have to spend valuable time on dealing with billing complaints as we ensure transparency and total predictability with respect to our costs throughout the duration of your matter.

Why can we offer fixed fees?

We are small, lean and agile.

We have established a well-structured flexible model, encompassing a range of on-line and face-to-face services, which are cost-effective and efficient.

Above all, we have experience, and imagination to boot!
