Reasonable compensation

Legal Profession (Code Of Conduct) Rules, r. 32 · Revised Edition 2020

(1) An attorney is entitled to reasonable compensation for his services but should avoid charges which either over- estimate or undervalue the service rendered. (2) The ability of a client, to pay cannot justify a charge in excess of the value of the service rendered, though the client’s indigence may require a charge that is below such value or even no chance at all.
