Negotiating Fees
|
Before you enter into any fee agreement, you should try to understand all you can about your arrangements. As a conditional fee agreement is based on an assessment of risk you should talk in detail about the various risks in your matter with the lawyers you consult. Remember the fees are negotiable and the lawyer should make you feel comfortable about discussing these issues with you. A lawyer may say to you that they cannot assess the risk until they have undertaken some investigations. To an extent, this may be correct. However, a lawyer who carefully collects detailed information from you should be in a position to make a preliminary assessment of the risk. They can then express a view subject to it being borne out by investigation.
| WORKFORCE LEGAL want you to talk frankly to us about our fees and compare them to the fees of other lawyers. We think that if you are not able to get clear information from another firm that says it all! |
