Taylor Rose combines specialist expertise with a cost-conscious approach. We believe in open and honest discussions about costs from the outset. Our team will explain likely fees and work with you to structure funding in a way that is proportionate and appropriate to your case.
In most matters, fees are charged on a standard hourly basis. In certain limited circumstances, particularly Inheritance Act claims, we may consider “no win, no fee” funding arrangements. We will always advise you clearly on what options may be suitable for your situation.
