Each matter is unique
Each dispute is unique, and this is a guideline only. The exact cost will depend on the individual circumstances of the case and when we know the size and likely complexity of the claim and the amount of work involved, we shall then be able to inform you of the likely cost and also time involved. In claims for more than £25,000 we discuss and prepare a “costs budget” for you so as to comply with court rules.
