We fully understand that not everyone can afford to take on the costs and risks of litigation.

We are here to help you get justice and so we always consider whether we can offer some form of no win no fee agreement or whether we can act for you using your Legal Expenses Insurance.

We will explain all of this in more detail to you, before you sign any agreement with us.

Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA)

This is what is commonly called a no win, no fee arrangement.

The fees refer to our costs but generally you would be expected to pay the disbursements upfront as the case goes along. Disbursements are things like court fees, expert fees and barristers’ costs. You will have to pay these whether you win or lose.

If the case does not succeed you will never have to pay us anything in respect of our own costs.

If you win your case, or it is settled out of court, we will charge you our full fees at the agreed hourly rate (our base costs) and you will be notified how those costs are rising every 6 months. This way you will get no nasty surprises. On top of these costs, you will pay a success fee which is a percentage of your damages. This is agreed beforehand with you and is always capped so again, there will be no nasty surprises. This is fair as we are sharing the risk with you.

If we win, then almost always we will get a costs order against your opponent and that will pay most of your costs.
