Cost Breakdown
Our fees for bringing or defending claims are as follows:
We charge on an hourly basis, with rates ranging from £220 to £325 depending on the seniority of the lawyer handling your matter. The level of involvement will reflect the complexity of your case and will be agreed with you at the outset.
Factors that could make a case more complex:
Tribunal hearings are charged separately at £800 per day (excluding VAT), with most hearings lasting between one and five days depending on the case.
Disbursements
Disbursements are third-party costs associated with your matter, such as court fees. We manage these payments on your behalf to ensure the process runs smoothly.
Counsel’s fees for Tribunal hearings (including preparation) typically range from £750 to £1,250 per day (excluding VAT), depending on the advocate’s experience.
Key Steps
The fees outlined above cover all key stages of a claim, including taking initial instructions, reviewing documents and advising on merits and potential compensation (which may be updated as the matter progresses). They also include pre-claim conciliation where required, preparation of the claim or response, and reviewing the other party’s submissions.
Our service extends to managing settlement discussions, preparing or advising on a schedule of loss, handling preliminary hearings, and managing disclosure, document bundles and witness evidence. We also prepare for and attend the final hearing, including instructing Counsel where appropriate.
These stages are indicative and may vary depending on the requirements of your case. Where certain stages are not needed, fees will be adjusted accordingly. We can also provide support on a tailored basis if you prefer to handle parts of the claim yourself.
How long will my matter take?
Timescales depend on how and when your case is resolved. If settlement is reached during pre-claim conciliation, matters typically conclude within 3–6 weeks. Where settlement is achieved later in the process, this may extend to between 6 weeks and 12 months.
If the claim proceeds to a Final Hearing, it is likely to take around 12 months or longer. These are indicative timeframes, and we will provide a more accurate estimate as your matter progresses.
