CONDITIONAL FEE AGREEMENT Our Conditional Fee Agreement has been devised to give you access to justice without financial worries. We take all the risk for you and if you win, you will keep 100% of your damages. Under the Agreement we charge a basic hourly rate and a success fee. If you win, we will be paid these fees by the Defendant, together with our disbursements (any costs we have incurred in the preparation of your claim). If we do not recover all our fees and disbursements from the Defendant, then we will write off the balance and not charge you for this. You will keep 100% of your damages. During the process of your claim, we will fund your disbursements so that you don’t need to make any payments at all. If we think you may be at risk of paying the Defendant’s costs, we will ensure that we have made a provision to protect you in this regard, either by taking out ‘After the Event’ insurance on your behalf, or coming to some other arrangement without involving you in any expense. If you have any costs to pay to the Defendant before we take out a policy (if one is required), we will pay these on your behalf and not ask you to repay them at any stage. If we cannot recover some or all of the cost of any policy for any reason, then we will write off the unrecovered cost of the policy. In summary:
Legal Expense Insurance When we first meet we ask you to bring in various insurance policies so that we may check them for any legal insurance provision they may contain. If you do have legal expense insurance available to you, we will still act for you on a conditional fee basis. It simply means that we may not receive our success fee if your claim is successful. Ending the Agreement If you wish to end the Conditional Fee Agreement against our advice, then we do reserve the right to charge you for our basic charges and disbursements or for our basic charges, disbursements and success fee if you ultimately succeed with your claim. We can end this Agreement if we believe your claim is unlikely to succeed and, if so, we would not seek any costs from you, unless you have failed to carry out your responsibilities under the Agreement. |
