The arrangement

The exact fee, scope and examples should be set out in writing so there is no guesswork.

The Terms of Business set out the success fee, any VAT, the work included, cancellation rights and any circumstances outside the agreed scope.

Fee questions

Plain answers before you sign

Do I pay if the claim is refused?

Under the no-win-no-fee promise, no service fee is payable if the claim is unsuccessful, subject to the definitions and scope in the signed Terms of Business.

Is a tribunal included automatically?

Do not assume so. The written terms should state whether reconsideration and tribunal work are included, require a further agreement or use a different fee arrangement.

Will the fee come from arrears?

The payment method and timing must be stated in the final Terms of Business. Ask for a worked example before agreeing.

Where are the final terms?

The website currently contains a build-stage terms page. Final legally approved client terms must replace it before public launch.

A simple first conversation

Understand the service before committing.

We will explain the scope and send written terms for review before work begins.
