Instructing a Solicitor

We try to keep things as simple as possible. However, as with all other things legal, instructing a solicitor is not a simple process.

We are happy to act on a discounted Conditional Fee Agreement upon your behalf. This means that assuming your claim is successful the majority, if not all, of your legal costs will be paid by the other side. If the claim is unsuccessful we get paid a considerably reduced rate for our time.

This proposal is offered on the basis that you are unlikely to have a policy of legal expenses insurance covering the claim you are pursuing. Should you have such a policy it is important that you send us a copy with confirmation that you wish us to act. You have an absolute entitlement to instruct any solicitor you wish, despite anything they may tell you. 

We can be instructed at any stage of the case. We will generally agree to accept instructions at any stage up to 4 months from trial, but seek to encourage earlier instruction as the sooner we are instructed the more assistance we can give. However, we reserve the right to refuse instructions where these are received less than 4 months from trial or to refuse to act under a Conditional Fee Agreement where we do not believe you have a reasonably arguable case. 

To instruct us you should contact us with your details or ring us on 01525 373322 to discuss the matter.
