At Barings Law, we are committed to providing top-tier legal advice and representation that remains accessible for all. We understand the importance of accessibility to justice and, to uphold our principle, all of our services operate on a no-win no-fee basis, excluding Immigration cases.
We firmly believe that individuals should not bear the burden of legal fees if their case is unsuccessful. In instances of success, our rates are meticulously structured to ensure that our clients receive the majority of the financial redress, with the exact terms outlined in a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA) signed at the start of the case.
Conditional Fee Agreements
Most of our clients are able to be represented under a CFA – also known as a no-win no-fee agreement. CFAs are usually used in personal injury and other civil litigation cases, providing access to legal services for individuals who might not otherwise be able to afford representation in matters of law.
After The Event Insurance
After The Event (ATE) insurance is a type of legal expenses insurance that is taken out after an incident has occurred, and is often associated with Conditional Fee Agreements in the UK. This insurance is designed to cover the costs of legal proceedings in case the claimant loses the case and becomes liable for the opponent’s legal fees and expenses. It is intended to allow individuals to pursue their legal rights without the concerns of significant financial consequences in the event of an unsuccessful outcome.
Private funding
A client is entitled to fund their case independently and pay for all legal fees out of their own pocket. This does come with risks that may not be in the client’s best interest as, if we are unable to win the case on the client’s behalf, they may also be liable for paying the defendant’s fees. The claim will also have to be paid up front to fund expenses such as fees and disbursements.
