OTHER COSTS
During the course of conducting your case, we may incur other costs (disbursements).
These may range from Court fees to expert fees e.g. professional medical reports. We will endeavour to advise you of the potential costs involved, beyond our service fees, as part of 'Our Commitment'. We reserve the right to recover and seek advance payment for such costs.
No Win No Fee
While we do not believe that 'No Win No Fee' provides best value for money* for our clients, we will consider any request for this on a case by case basis.
'No Win No Fee' arrangements can be either a Damages-based Fee or a Conditional Fee.
Damages-BASED Fee
With a Damages-based Fee, instead of paying the actual legal fees, a percentage is of any award is pre-agreed with your legal representative as being your fee, should you win your case. This cannot be more than 35% of the amount awarded.
*Costs are rarely awarded in Employment cases, but if they are only the actual solicitors fee can be recovered. You will still be liable for the remainder of the Damages-based fee.
CONDITIONAL FEE
With a Conditional Fee arrangement, a "success fee" is pre-arranged with your legal representative. This can be up to 100% of the actual solicitor fees.
*Costs are rarely awarded in Employment cases, but if they are only the actual solicitors fee can be recovered. You will still be liable for the Conditional ("success") Fee.
