Funding

Unlike many other firms we are still very much committed to Legal Aid. Our commitment to offering the highest standards of representation and a high quality driven approach by skilled qualified staff is evidenced by our membership of the VERY HIGH COST CASE and SPECIALIST FRAUD PANEL. Additionally we achieve high ratings under the LSC PEER REVIEW SCHEME which ensures firms act under a quality assurance system.

However we acknowledge that the restrictions of the LEGAL AID SYSTEM necessarily restrict the seniority of the solicitor, advocate and expert that we can instruct under the payment structure in place, and for those clients who wish to instruct an advocate and solicitor of choice tailored to their individual needs, we offer reasonable, highly competitive privately paying rates for each of the areas of our expertise ensuring the delivery of a high quality service.

Paying privately means that a solicitor or team (depending upon the nature of your matter) will be dedicated to your case, and they will be accessible  at any time to deal with your concerns. You will have their mobile telephone number, they can arrange appointments at short notice, and can travel to meet with you at your home or office. This continuity of  a specialist dedicated service will alleviate much of the stress that you and your business partners or family may also be experiencing. It will also mean that you will be represented  by the best barristers and that we will instruct leading experts and enquiry agents in order to prepare your case to the highest standards.

MONEY LAUNDERING
By virtue of  recent government legislation on anti- money laundering, The Law Society has issued MANDATORY procedures which all solicitors when dealing with private clients MUST follow. Essentially ALL clients must be subject to compulsory checks, therefore we will ask you for the following documentation:
1. Current signed passport
2. Photo ID, e.g. driver’s licence
3. Benefit book (if applicable)
4. AND recent utility bills
