Our basic charges for litigation are calculated for each hour engaged on the case. However, we understand that clients are concerned about exposure to costs as they are about the outcome of their case. Therefore, in suitable commercial cases having reasonable prospects of success, we are prepared to work under a Conditional Fee (i.e. ‘no win, no fee’ or discounted) Agreement (CFA), backed by After The Event insurance (ATE).

ATE insurance is taken out after a dispute has arisen insuring a party to a dispute against the risk of having to pay their opponent’s costs. Payment of the ATE insurance premium is deferred until the conclusion of the case and if the case is successfully settled or won is paid by the losing opponent. The insurance policy provides indemnity for the full cost of the premium, so if the case is lost, the insured does not have to pay anything.

For an initial no obligation discussion, please contact Khizar Arif by telephone on 01753 851 133 or karif@lovegrovesllp.com.
