Legal Fees

• For certain types of legal work we offer fixed fees so that you know how much the total work will cost you.

• For Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence cases we offer our legal services on a no win-no fee basis.

• If the claim is covered by legal indemnity insurance then we will explain clearly how this works and how the costs will be covered.

• If we are charging an hourly rate we will provide a clear cost estimate at the beginning of the case.

• We will stick to that cost estimate unless there are unforeseen developments or additional work or expenditure.
  
  • If that is the case then we will contact you in good time to amend the cost estimate and discuss why the additional spend is required.
  • At this point, you can decide whether or not you wish to proceed.
  • No additional costs will be incurred without approval.

• Regular updates will be provided on what work we are doing and how much it is costing.

• We will discuss and agree the regularity of invoices.

• Even if the overall case is based on an hourly rate there may still be elements of the costs that are based on fixed fees e.g.
  
  • some types of court hearings,
  • conferences,
  • standard letters and
  • telephone calls;

which means that the overall costs are kept down

• Legal fee payments can be tailored so that you can choose to pay in advance, monthly or at other intervals that are agreeable to you and us.
