Funding Options

Pursuing or defending disputes can result in significant expenses being incurred.

That is why the Dispute Resolution Team can offer you a range of funding options.  These include: 

BTE Before The Event Insurance

You may be insured for Legal Expenses, for example as part of your Home Insurance.  We can check your Policy and will often be able to offer our services through your insurers.

Legal Aid 

Also known as Public Funding.  This is subject to the type of case being eligible and you meeting the Legal Services Commission financial eligibility, merits and cost benefits requirements.  We cannot offer Legal Aid for all matters.

Fixed Fees

We can offer fixed fees for a particular job or a specified level of work.  

Normal Hour Rate

At a competitive rate.

Deferred Fees

This means we would only charge at the end of the case.  We usually only offer this if sufficient security is offered.

Conditional Fees Also known as “No Win No Fee”

You would only be liable for our fees if we win your case.  In addition to our fees you would then pay an uplift up to 100% which would reflect the risk we took with your case.  Normally you would expect to recover most of our fees and uplift from your opponent.

After The Event Insurance (ATE)

We can also help arrange insurance called After The Event Insurance (ATE) to cover the risk of having to pay your opponents costs in the event your claim fails.

The question of how much a case will cost and a cost benefit analysis will be frankly discussed at the outset and kept under review so that informed decisions can be made about the conduct of your case.
