Our Fees

  • General guide on Our Fees in Litigation cases

    This is a general guide on our fees relating to litigation in cases of
    personal injury, debt recovery, commercial/contract dispute, family financial settlement, employment law, etc.

    The charges for our services depends upon the below mentioned factors:

    1. The degree of urgency in your case or transaction
    2. The complexity of your case or transaction;
    3. The importance of your case or transaction;
    4. The amount of any money involved in your case or transaction;
    5. The skill and experience of the solicitor dealing with your case; and
    6. The means and basis of funding of our fees in your case.

    Following are the basis upon which instructions are accepted by us:

    1. Agreed Fees:
      We, at the time of accepting instructions, agree to charge a fixed amount. You will not be likely to pay more than the agreed figure unless the matter is oddly prolonged in some exceptional cases. Nevertheless you will never be caught by surprise and in the highly unlikely situation that costs rises, you will be informed promptly
    2. Hourly Rate:
      Our standard hourly charge starts from £165 per hour (for solicitors with less than 4 years of experience) to £400 per hour (for solicitors with more than 8 years of experience).
      The Hourly rate of charging is purely depending on the level of expertise of a solicitor/ Barrister engaged and the complexity of work.
    3. Conditional Fee (No Win No Fee, or Pay less):
      Conditional fee agreements (‘CFAs’) are used in matters where the level of the fee depends upon a particular event, usually winning the case. A CFA is a type of contingency fee that is permitted for contentious business, providing it meets the requirements contained in 1990 (CLSA) (as amended by section 27 of the Access to Justice Act 1999 (AJA). This type of fees is very common with road traffic accidents, personal injury and immigration litigation such as judicial reviews and appeals in the Court of Appeal/Supreme Court.
    4. Damages Based Agreement:
      We also use damages-based fees depending on the nature of the case as well as the scope of risk to our fees we sharing in the case. Our damages-based fees normally range from 20% to 35% of the damages/settlement sum recovered by the client. It is only payable in the event of the client recovering any sort of financial benefit or like, from the claim. This type of fees is very common with employment and (family) financial settlement related claims.
