Mediation can also take place at any stage of the dispute. The advantages of mediation are that the parties can settle the dispute without the need of a lengthy trial which can be uncertain due to the nature of Litigation.
Mediation is a non-binding procedure on both parties. If mediation fails, it is likely that a lot of the issues in dispute may have been narrowed down and therefore will no longer be needed to be tried at court.
We normally charge an hourly rate for litigation matters. We charge for the time we spend on your matter which includes drafting letters, attendances, telephone calls and preparation.
The total costs will depend on the nature of your claim. We are happy to discuss the merits of your case in detail and can then provide you with an estimate of costs and a breakdown of our charging structure.
In some instances your insurance may cover your legal expenses. We are happy to look into this for you.
If your matter is worth less than £10,000.00 (and is dealt with in the Small Claims Court) then neither party is entitled to their legal costs irrespective of whether you have won or lost the case.
