While there may be some minor additional costs for reminders or other interventions, we pride ourselves on not having substantial \u201chidden\u201d costs.\u00a0 We also do our best to offer competitive rates and remain available for exploratory discussions without charge so long as these do not require significant amounts of time and research.\u00a0 We offer many other small courtesies and favours without additional charge as gestures of reciprocity.\u00a0 We are committed to working with our clients to meet their expectations and we understand that our clients want as much predictability with costs as possible.\u00a0 This is what separates us from many other Canadian IP firms and why we have been able to build trust and preserve our foreign associate client base for so many years.<\/p>\n<\/div>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/macrae.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/AdobeStock_144244220_red-300x169.jpeg\")
