In some cases paying for our services on an agreed hourly rate may be the most suitable way of funding your case. We will provide you with an estimate of the likely costs at the outset and update you regularly throughout the progress of the case. Our hourly rates range from £80 to £300 per hour depending on the type of work undertaken and level of lawyer required.
Funding Assistance
In family cases it will often be the case that the client can expect a substantial financial settlement, most commonly from the sale of the family home. Clients may find it difficult to provide sufficient funds to cover the costs of the case before settlement is received.
In order to assist clients in funding their cases, whether in relation to financial or children’s issues, we have an arrangement with a company called Novitas, who will provide to us sufficient funds to finance your case on the basis that Novitas are repaid from the financial settlement any funds advanced together with any interest and fees charged by Novitas.
