A leading commercial silk can demand a daily refresher of around that sum (£20k). I know Pannick doesn’t quite fit in that mould, but it’s certainly analogous. The more money that’s on the line, the more the brief will command. Stands to reason. Moreover, the quoted sum might be a conflation of his brief fee and daily refresher divided by the estimated number of days he’ll spend on the case.It really gets on my fucking nerves when I see people repeating Panick is on 20 grand a day
It's not a small amount of money but his fees are probably about £500+vat an hour
Then he will have a team of people to do all the legwork for him, some of these are probably on £200/£250 an hour plus vat
The 20 grand is for an entire legal team
Either way, fwiw, it doesn’t seem outlandish to me.
