Some home insurance, motor insurance or packaged bank account policies may provide legal expenses insurance. It may therefore be worth checking any existing policies you have to see if they provide legal expenses insurance that cover the type of claim you are seeking advice on.

Alternatively, if you are in the process of negotiating a Settlement Agreement with your employer, whilst it is not a strict legal requirement, many employers will offer a contribution to your legal fees in the region of £500 + VAT – £750 + VAT. It may therefore be worth discussing this with your employer to understand the value, if any, of the contribution your employer may be willing to make to your legal fees. Please do note however, this is intended to be a contribution only in most cases, rather than covering the full legal fees.

No, our fees are charged on a time spent basis, at the relevant team member’s hourly rate. You shall be provided with a fee estimate at the point of instruction, and at various points subsequently throughout your matter, as required.
