We charge more than standard rates to reflect the actual work done - so
likely to take longer if the company delays in accepting the suggested
fees.
As we're still 2 partners short, companies are also advised that there
may be a delay in getting them done.
I'd have said that 3-4 weeks is pretty good: why do the companies expect
to get consents signed up to a year before the form is sent to the GP -
and then sometimes phone even before the form has arrived?!?
