*Lawyers Increase Legal Fees By More Than 100 Per Cent* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?ei The Law Society of Zimbabwe (LSZ) has approved the hiking of legal fees by lawyers across the board. The move is a reaction to the depreciation in the value of the Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) Dollar. A notice released by LSZ read in part: ---------- itel A70 256GB $99USD WhatsApp: https://wa.me/+263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 ---------- > Legal practitioners are professionally and legally obliged to charge fees for legal work which are fair and reasonable in all circumstances. > In order to assist the profession and the public in this regard and to seek a degree of uniformity and consistency, this tariff is recommended by the LSZ. Valentine Mutatu, a law lecturer and human rights defender said: > You will notice that for senior lawyers, they used to charge US$300 (per hour) and the latest tariff shows they can now charge RTGS$1 200. > If you change that at the prevailing black market rate of today, which is around $420 for a US$$100 bill, it’s slightly lower than what we used to charge. *More: Newsday* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
