Disputes that arise between individuals or parties over their rights and which do not involve criminal offences are known as ‘civil’ cases. A ‘fast track’ case is generally a civil case with a sum at issue of between £5,001 and £25,000.

The lifespan of a complex civil lawsuit can range from several months to several years. For fast track cases we will work on our usual hourly rate up to a pre-arranged ‘capped’ point after which you pay no more and our work becomes free!

For high value cases (where the sum at issue is upwards of £25,000) or where there are complex issues which the Court may designate as ‘multi-track’, we will agree a fee arrangement with you (such as capped fees or a no win no fee agreement) on an individual basis. Whichever you choose, our aim is to be transparent and predictable
