About Us

Charles Fice, with Chris Charles and Egon Fice the initial partners, was established in Melbourne in 1998 as the first law firm in Australia providing liquidators and bankruptcy trustees with a one-stop shop (in association with GIO Insurance and the Commonwealth Bank) to obtain litigation funding and the prosecution of their commercial cases under it.

Since then, the firm has acted in hundreds of civil litigation cases, including international money laundering disputes. We also have experience and expertise in banking and finance, company/commercial, landlord and tenant and employment law matters.

All of the firm's professional work is carried out by Chris Charles. He is a solicitor of more than 53 years standing in four countries and has been the sole proprietor of Charles Fice since 2005.

The firm's fees are always reasonable whichever one of the following four charging methods are agreed:

Time-based fee, being hours worked multiplied by a flat hourly rate - currently $550;
Fixed fee;
Conditional fee whereby our fee, charged on a time-basis but uplifted by up to 25%, is only payable on the occurrence of a “successful outcome” (as defined but usually a “win”);
Fixed fee payable irrespective of a successful outcome, plus a conditional fee calculated without any percentage uplift at our usual hourly rate or lower upon a successful outcome.

Whatever the fee charging method our disbursements are charged at cost.
