Fees
Where the client is not eligible for legal aid a fee can be agreed on an hourly rate or as a fixed fee. Factors that affect the level of fee include the level of expertise and experience of the barrister, the length of time involved in dealing with the case and the complexity of the case.
Our barristers also accept instructions under conditional fee agreements (“no win, no fee” agreements) in certain circumstances. For information, please contact the clerks on 01792 652988 / clerks@iscoedchambers.co.uk.
Timescales
Timescales for a case may vary depending on factors such as barristers’ availability, the type and complexity of the case, the other side’s approach and court waiting times.
We have a dedicated and experienced clerking team which is supported by a highly efficient administrative team. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact them. The clerks will be happy to discuss your requirements.
