Dispute Resolution Fees & Funding

We offer a range of fee structures and those include:

• Fixed fees

• Staged fixed fees, converting to hourly rates at a set stage

• Conditional Fee Agreements (CFA) and Discounted Conditional Fee Agreements (DCFA) for higher value claims which may be suitable for external funding and/or payment of fees on conclusion of the case

• Hourly rates where your case will be placed with a suitable lawyer at a cost proportionate to the value of your claim but all junior lawyers are s upervised by experienced Partners.

We ensure that you're fully advised of all the dispute resolution options available to you, including mediation, arbitration and negotiation. We also consider whether you can use Legal Expenses Insurance and can help you obtain After the Event (ATE) Insurance to protect against your opponent's costs if your case is unsuccessful.

Our fees are transparent at all times so you will know your legal costs as your matter progresses. We will fully explain all funding options before you sign any agreement.

Alternative Dispute Resolution

We are experienced in all types of mediation and other forms of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) are expanding. The courts promote the use of ADR wherever possible to avoid matters going to trial.
