Disbursement
We offer fixed and hourly fees on our employment and our Client care letter will highlight our fees and structure at the onset. We also provide a Settlement Agreement Service.  The costs of approving a straightforward Settlement Agreement are normally between £250.00- £500.00 plus VAT.
The fees set out above cover all the stages of the work we will carry out on your behalf and they include the following key stages of the claim:
• Taking your initial instructions, reviewing the papers and advising you on merits;
• Entering into pre-claim conciliation where this is mandatory to explore whether a settlement can be reached;
• Preparing claim or response;
• Reviewing and advising on claim or response from other party;
• Exploring settlement and negotiating settlement throughout the process;
• Preparing or considering a schedule of loss;
• Preparing for (and attending) hearings;
• Exchanging documents with the other party and agreeing a bundle of documents;
• Taking witness statements, drafting statements and agreeing their content with witnesses;
• Preparing bundle of documents;
• Reviewing and advising on the other party’s witness statements;
• Agreeing a list of issues, a chronology and/or cast list;
• Preparing Instructions to Counsel.
We also provide a Settlement Agreement Service.  The costs of approving a straightforward Settlement Agreement are normally between £250.00- £500.00 plus VAT.
The time that it takes from taking your initial instructions to the final resolution of your matter depends largely on the stage at which your case is resolved.  If a settlement is reached during pre-claim conciliation, your case is likely to take few weeks.  If your claim proceeds to a Final Hearing, your case is likely to take 6 months or beyond. This is just an estimate on timescale and as we progress, we will of course be able to give you an accurate timescale
