Employment
At NA Law Solicitors, our fees are determined by the complexity of your case and the services you require. To obtain a personalised quote, please contact us via email or phone. We are dedicated to exploring alternative funding options, such as legal expense insurance or Damage Based Agreements (commonly known as No Win No Fee). Please note that we are not registered for VAT so no VAT is applicable to our solicitors fees. However, it is important to note that this may not be the case for disbursements. We will promptly inform you if VAT is payable for any disbursements.
We will provide a detailed explanation of how our fees are calculated, the anticipated costs involved in preparing and handling your case, any additional expenses that may arise, and any costs that may be recoverable or payable by you to the other party.
Depending on your situation, we offer various fee options:
- Damage Based Agreement (No Win No Fee): With this option, there is no financial risk to you. If you lose the case, you won’t have to pay solicitor fees. We take on the risk on your behalf. If we win, we receive a percentage of the damages (up to 35%).
- Fixed Fee: For certain matters, we offer fixed fee options. A Solicitor will assess your circumstances and provide a predetermined fee to assist you throughout your case. This offers cost certainty and flexibility, and can be provided in instalments if applicable.
- Agreed Hourly Rate: This traditional fee structure allows for flexibility based on an hourly basis. We will estimate the overall cost of your matter and keep you updated on the costs. This option will be discussed with you at the beginning of your case, if available.
We also consider legal coverage provided by unions or membership organisations. If you are a member of such an organisation, please inform us for further discussion.
Fixed hourly fees:
- Grade A (over 8 years’ experience): £282
- Grade B (over 4 years’ experience): £232
- Grade C (other solicitors or legal executives): £185
- Grade D (trainee solicitors, paralegals, and other fee earners): £129
Our fees (excluding disbursements) for employment claims tend to range as follows:
- Simple cases: £3,000
- Medium complexity cases: £5,000
- High complexity cases: up to £10,000
The charges provided are estimates, and for a more precise quote, further information about your case is required.
The complexity and time spent on a case can vary significantly, influenced by factors such as the need for long hearings, amending claims or providing additional information, dealing with litigants in person, costs applications, preliminary issues, number of witnesses and documents, automatic unfair dismissal claims, and discrimination allegations related to dismissal.
Disbursements, which are costs payable to third parties, such as court and counsel fees, are not included in our pricing. We handle the payment of disbursements on your behalf. In some cases, it may be appropriate to obtain expert medical evidence and the cost of the expert will vary depending on the expertise required. Typically, a report from a GP would cost in the region of £300 plus VAT but a report from a psychiatrist would on average be in the region of £1,500 plus VAT. The estimated barristers fee for a preliminary hearing will be in the region of £1,500 plus VAT and for a final hearing the fees will range from £2,000 to £20,000 excluding VAT, charged at 20% depending on experience of the advocate and how many days the final hearing is listed for and would include any preparation work for the hearings. On occasions, it may be appropriate to seek a written advice from the barrister or have a conference (a meeting) with them. The estimated cost of that would range from £750 to £3,000 plus VAT.
Our services include various stages such as initial instructions, review of papers, advice on merits and compensation, pre-claim conciliation, claim or response preparation, settlement exploration and negotiation, document exchange, witness statements, preparation for hearings, and attendance at the Final Hearing with instructions to Counsel.
The duration of your case depends on when it is resolved. If settled during pre-claim conciliation, it may take 4-6 weeks. If it proceeds to a Final Hearing, it can take 3 months to 2 years, depending on the complexity.
