Frequently Asked Questions.
Is it No-Win No-Fee?
We operate on a No-Win No-Fee basis, meaning if we are unsuccessful in your claim, you will not be liable for any fees, so there is no financial risk to you by making a claim. We simply ask that you do not mislead our legal teams and that you cooperate with our operatives throughout the claiming process.
What fee do Barings charge?
If we are successful in your claim, Barings Law charge a success fee of 25%+ VAT. These fees will be displayed in your CFA (Conditional Fee Agreement). If we are unsuccessful, you will not be liable for any fees, providing you have given your full cooperation throughout.
What information do I need when submitting a claim?
When submitting a claim with us, all we require is a copy of the notification letter or email from the organisation that has been breached informing you that you have been impacted by the breach.
If you have been impacted financially, you can also submit any bank or credit statements that show discrepancies.
How long does the process take?
It is not possible to give an exact timeframe. A number of contributing factors that arise with any legal case may determine the speed of progress, one of which is the cooperation of the defendant.
