Had you hired a similar CG based lawyer, your costs would have been less than half.
There is drastic difference in Delhi and Chennai rates.
Very competitive.
- Drafting of Suit & all Supporting Applications a/w said suit: INR 2 lakhs
- INR 75K per outstation appearance
- Out-pocket expenses extra
- Conferences/ teleconferences are included in the costs above
Are Delhi lawyers with roughly 15 years this expensive?
Would it be more cost efficient going to a law firm instead? To his credit and our advantage, this lawyer has front ended all the costs so far, and we have just been stumped with his invoice - post his securing the injunction we wanted. I tried reasoning with him and he insists that the invoicing is fair/ competitive - relative to the prevailing market rates in New Delhi.
Please could anyone throw some light on what has gone down here?
