Notification of Client's Rights 
You may request an itemised invoice from us after receiving an invoice that is not itemised or is partially itemised within 60 days after that invoice was given to you. In the event of a 
dispute in relation to legal costs you may: 
1.  seek the assistance of the NSW Commissioner; 
2.  have the costs assessed. 
 
A complaint to the NSW Commissioner, in relation to this invoice, must be made within the required period of 60 days after the due date noted in the invoice or if an itemised invoice 
was requested, 30 days after that request was complied with. The NSW Commissioner may waive the time requirement if satisfied that the complaint is made within 4 months after the 
required period and it is just and fair to deal with the complaint, having regard to the delay and reasons for the delay. An application for costs assessment must be made within 12 
months after: 
1.  the invoice was given to you, or the request for payment was made to you, the third party payer or other law practice; or 
2.  the legal costs were paid if neither an invoice nor a request was made. 
 
We may give you an interim invoice covering part only of the legal services we were retained to provide. Legal costs that are the subject of an interim invoice may be assessed either at 
the time of the interim invoice or at the time of the final invoice, whether or not the interim invoice has previously been assessed or paid. If this is a lump sum invoice and you request an 
itemised invoice, which exceeds the amount specified in this lump sum invoice, the additional costs may be recovered from you only if the costs are determined to be payable after a 
costs assessment or after a binding determination by the NSW Commissioner. 
 
Interest 
If this invoice is not paid by the due date, interest may be charged as specified in our costs agreement, in accordance with the Legal Profession Uniform Law (NSW). 
The rate of interest is the Cash Rate Target stipulated by the Reserve Bank of Australia as at the date of this bill plus 2% (currently 3.10% pa)
