Costing
Everything you need to know about our costing structure
Our Costing Structure
We are required by the Solicitors Regulation Authority to publish information about our pricing in relation to certain services that we provide. This information can be found below. If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
In respect of our volume personal injury type cases, we will offer our clients a Conditional Fee Agreement retainer, known colloquially as a ‘No Win No Fee Agreement’. To offer a Conditional Fee Agreement, we must be satisfied that your case has prospects of success exceeding 50%. The terms of our Conditional Fee Agreements are fully explained within a Client Care Letter.
The fundamental features are as follows:
a – If the case is unsuccessful then we will not raise a bill of costs to our clients for the work we have undertaken.
b – We often charge a Success Fee. The Success Fee is an amount that we deduct from the compensation recovered in successful cases. It is capped at a maximum of 25% of the compensation.
If we take cases on a private basis, then this means we charge our client on an hourly rate basis. The hourly rates that we charge will be agreed at the outset of the claim and range from Grade A to Grade D. The rates charged are shown below.
We accept some cases, often employment law type cases, on a Contingency Fee basis. This means that we will agree at the outset that we will take an agreed percentage of whatever compensation we recover on behalf of our clients.
GRADE A
- Grade A team members are solicitors or legal executives with over 8 years’ experience.
- They will charge an hourly rate ordinarily ranging between £250 to £261 per hour.
GRADE B
- Grade B team members are solicitors or legal executives with over 4 years’ experience.
- They will charge an hourly rate of £218 per hour.
GRADE C
- Grade C team members are solicitors or legal executives and fee earners of equivalent experience.
- They will charge an hourly rate of £178 per hour.
