Case funding, no win no fee, fixed and contingency fees

Professional legal advice can be very costly. If you are in need of help these are some of the funding options available to you and can be discussed with any of our legal advisors before you commence your case.

Free First Interview

We do offer a free first interview in many cases. This will outline your options, your chances of success and we will discuss the costs involved.

Legal Aid

The Government provides funding for legal services in the form of Legal Aid and in our practice this is only available in Family Law cases such as divorce, separation and children issues. This is awarded to candidates based on their financial situation and other circumstances and to find out if you are eligible you can use the Legal Aid calculator on the Community Legal Advice website www.cls.gov.uk. If you have any questions you can ask our family lawyers who will confirm whether you are in fact eligible.

Legal Insurance Cover

If you have taken out legal cover as part of an insurance policy you should be offered free access to legal advice and representation with the costs being paid by your insurers. This may cover you in cases involving (this list is not exhaustive):

• Personal injury
• Unfair dismissal and employment tribunals
• Purchase or hire of goods and services
• Loss or damage to property through someone else's negligence
• Disagreements with neighbours
• Tenancy disputes
• Contract issues with house purchases
• Non-constructional building work such as redecoration

You should check with your insurer for details of the financial level to which you are covered. In some cases this may not cover the entire cost of the case so you can with our legal advisors make sure that this is established before you proceed with any legal action. Some insurers may insist that you use their panel of solicitors but once again in certain circumstances this can be overridden and we are granted permission to act for you and once again you should check this position with our legal advisors.
