Rees Myers was established with the core objective to cater to the legal needs of clients from around the world. We have over 20 years of experience in our practice areas and an extentive network of expert barristers all of whom are available to assist to bolster our ability to offer top of the range legal services.
We do not undertake legal aid work and this is likely to be the case for the foreseeable future. Subject to agreement with us at the start of the case, the following charging methods are routinely available to clients.
1. Agreed fee
2. Payment on account and estimated fee
3. No win no fee
4. Pro bono
5. Conditional fee agreements
Agreed fee - if we are able to assess the level of work to be done in your case, we will agree an overall fee payable by you and you will not be liable for any addition fee even if we underassessed the level of work to be done in your case.
Estimated fee - if we are unable to assess the level of work to be carried out, we will provide an estimate of costs based on similar cases we have carried out in the past. In this case, our fee will be estimated based on our hourly rate between £197 to £301 per hour depending on the fee earner assigned to your case. All estimated fees are reviewed as the matter progresses, and in the event of an increase or decrease we will inform you about the change and the reasons for it.
No Win No Fee - this scheme is used in all Road Traffic Accident/Occupier Liability claims (in conjunction with a CFA) and in cases where we are certain that you stand a very good chance of success.
Pro Bono - we have an internal policy not to charge for work done on behalf of qualified clients such as the elderly. Each case will be considered on the merits and the policy is at our discretion.
Conditional Fee Agreement(CFA) - we appreciate that in some instances clients are not able to meet legal fees, and in those exceptional cases, we can enter into a Condition Fee Agreement to allow clients to pay our fee from the money they recover from their opponent or are awarded by the court. This is available in personal injury claims and most employment cases. A percentage is agreed with clients at the onset of the case. If the case is not successful, you will not be required to make a payment towards our fees.
Irrespective of the payment method applied to your case, we value all of our clients and we will continue to provide a bespoke legal service to all with the mondus operandi'professionalism, reliability and results'.
