Conditional Fee (No Win No Fee, or Pay less):
Conditional fee agreements (‘CFAs’) are used in matters where the level of the fee depends upon a particular event, usually winning the case. A CFA is a type of contingency fee that is permitted for contentious business, providing it meets the requirements contained in 1990 (CLSA) (as amended by section 27 of the Access to Justice Act 1999 (AJA). This type of fees is very common with road traffic accidents, personal injury and immigration litigation such as judicial reviews and appeals in the Court of Appeal/Supreme Court.
-
Damages Based Agreement:
We also use damages-based fees depending on the nature of the case as well as the scope of risk to our fees we sharing in the case. Our damages-based fees normally range from 20% to 35% of the damages/settlement sum recovered by the client. It is only payable in the event of the client recovering any sort of financial benefit or like, from the claim. This type of fees is very common with employment and (family) financial settlement related claims.
