Referral Fees Questions


Simpson Millar LLP in conjunction with Solicitors Journal are conducting a survey on the subject of referral fees. The survey, which appears below, is completely anonymous. We do ask questions about your business so we can determine whether there are different views from different business types or from businesses of different sizes. If you are interested in receiving a summary of the results of the survey, please email your details to Craig Jones.


We do hope that you take the time to complete the survey on what we think is an issue of major importance in the legal services industry. You can read a copy of Craig Jones' article on Referral Fees here.
