Our Fee Structures

Do you have questions about legal claim fees?

OurLegal Fee Structure

Invariably if we believe a claim has sufficient prospects of success we will agree to act under a Conditional Fee Agreement (also known as a “no win, no fee arrangement). Claims fall in to two categories in terms of costs recovery in the event that a claim is successful, namely claims in which a fixed fee is recoverable and claims in which Court-assessed fees are recoverable from opponents if the figure cannot be agreed.

In fixed fee cases the fixed fee is unlikely to cover all the basic costs and the success fee is not capable of being recovered. However, we agree to limit any shortfall and success fee to no more than 25% of the damages recovered for past loss including pain and suffering. Any shortfall in Court-assessed fee cases is also so limited.

Our basic charges are charged at the following rates for personal injury cases:

Solicitors with over 8 years’ post-qualification experience – £250/hour
Litigation Managers, Assistants and Paralegals – £135/hour
For clinical negligence cases these rates increase to £300 and £180 respectively
Routine letters out, telephone calls, text messages out and emails out are charged as 6 minute units (one tenth of the hourly rate). Other attendances, drafting and perusals including travelling time are charged as time incurred
Please remember that any liability for solicitors’ costs will be capped at 25% regardless of the extent of any shortfall, so our clients know where they stand
