We pride ourselves on ensuring that we listen to you about your budget and we tailor our fees in discussion with each client.  We are a specialist dispute resolution law firm and our work is to ensure that access to justice is available regardless of financial status.  

​

We apply Fixed Fees to our services across the spectrum of claims which are also in line with recommendations for fixed recoverable costs incurred (fixed recoverable costs are those that can be recovered from an opponent in civil claims where a claim is valued at more than £10,000).  We also fix our fees for claims valued at less than £10,000, and tailor these to each case, because you would be unable to recover any costs from the opponent, even if you were successful (although there are exceptions to this rule - see Civil Procedure Rule 45).  The Court rules also applies an additional percentage of damages rate of between 3% - 22%, dependent upon the stage reached in the proceedings where damages is quantified and agreed with your opponent.  We agree with you any percentage of damages recovered in cases valued at over £10,000, as part of our retainer. This means that at each stage through the proceedings your financial outlay is fully calculated and at the point you are awarded damages, our final account to you shows any disproportion between the Courts' fixed recoverable costs and the actual time value of work undertaken to enable a percentage of damages to be calculated and agreed with you.  We appreciate that discussing fees and the recommended formulas may be confusing and we ensure that we fully discuss this with you before undertaking any work.  

Our fees cover advice, representation and advocacy services unmatched by what you would usually pay for Solicitors and Barristers to work on your case, which creates considerable savings on solicitor client fees.  We are Specialist Lawyers as defined under Civil Procedure Rules applied in the Civil Courts. This means we can conduct your case on a day to day basis and appear in Court at Trial, without referring your case to Counsel.  It is normal practice for Solicitors to conduct cases day to day and then instruct Counsel at various stages of a case, this can increase Solicitor client costs, this does no arise when you instruct us on your case.

Please see separate fee tables for Landlord & Tenant and Debt Recovery matters. 

​

We do not instruct Counsel or external advocates unless we are double booked, or it is in the interests of our clients to bring on board independent Counsel.  If we do instruct Counsel we commit to our clients that there will be no duplicated fees for us to do so.  We make every endeavour to avoid referring cases to Counsel, because we are 'Specialist Lawyers' and bring the same benefits as Counsel and Solicitors combined, in advising, representing and appearing in Court as Counsel.  From day one we conduct cases the same as a Solicitor and appear in Court the same as Counsel.
