Extraordinary fees typically refer to legal fees or expenses that exceed the usual or customary amount charged for a particular service. These fees may arise in situations where legal services require specialised expertise, involve complex issues, or necessitate significant time and resources beyond the ordinary scope of representation. Examples of circumstances that may result in extraordinary fees include high-stakes litigation, complex corporate transactions, or cases involving novel legal issues. Clients are typically informed about potential extraordinary fees upfront and may negotiate fee arrangements with their legal counsel to ensure transparency and fairness in billing practices.
