WE BELIEVE IN TRANSPARENCY - BELOW ARE OUR PRICING

We are required by the Solicitor’s Regulation Authority to publish information on the services we provide and the prices that we charge.

At O & B Solicitors, our Personal Injury department can offer Conditional Fee Agreement. This is also known as a ‘No Win, No Fee’ agreement.

A No Win, No Fee agreement, is an arrangement between you (the client) and O & B Solicitors when commencing a legal claim. This simply means that you will not be liable to pay any fees for your solicitor’s services. You will only pay legal fees if your claim is successful, which is typically a percentage of the compensation amount obtained.

Please call our offices and ask to speak to a member of the Personal Injury Team for further information.

Some of our services are offered on an hourly rate basis and as many of our clients’ matters are complex and often involve multiple parties, there is rarely a typical case. Our clients are given an estimate of costs after our initial consultation or as part of the engagement process. There are some areas where we are able to be more indicative and, as in accordance with the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) guidance on price transparency, we have published our price and service information where it is possible to be upfront about our charges without knowing all the details of the matter.

We have set out the hourly rates for lawyers at different levels.

The below rates and fee estimates are exclusive of VAT. Professional fees will be subject to VAT at 20% where this is applicable.

These rates are subject to annual review.

Partner / Solicitors / Legal Executives / Consultant at £275.00 per hour plus VAT, currently 20%, giving a total of £330.00 per hour.

Trainee solicitors / Paralegals / Other Fee earners at £125.00 plus VAT per hour.

We are able to offer fixed fees for certain matters, subject to the issues and complexity involved. The fixed fees we charge for the following areas start from:

Civil Disputes – between £500.00 – £2,500.00 plus VAT

Immigration; between £450.00 – £2,500.00 +VAT (VAT may not be applicable for all cases, please call for further information)

You may be required to pay for any expenses incurred in the conduct of your matter. Such expenses are usually called disbursements which we will be required to pay directly to the relevant third party (other person or provider).

Such expenses include and are not limited to the following: Court fees, barrister fees, translations of documents, translator for hearings, and postage fees.

We have little control over such expenses and these will vary widely depending on the complexity of your matter and the work required. You will be advised of these and your options from the start of your case.

The estimates set out here have been provided to give a range of likely fees for standard applications. Once we have further information about your personal circumstances and the matter, we may be able to agree a fixed fee.

Your fee estimate or fixed fee would be agreed prior to us formalising our engagement with you.

We want to give you the best possible service. However, if at any point you become unhappy or concerned about the service provided, then you should inform us immediately, so that we can do our best to resolve the problem as swiftly as possible.

In the first instance it may be helpful to contact the person who is working on your case to discuss your concerns and we will do our best to resolve any issues.

If you would like to make a formal complaint, then may do so by contacting our Principal Mr Onder Karpuz either by e-mail: onder@oandbsolicitors.co.uk or by

phone: 01708 843428 or by post.

Our complaints procedure is here. Making a complaint will not affect how we handle your case.

What to do if we cannot resolve your complaint?

The Legal Ombudsman can help you if we are unable to resolve your complaint ourselves. They will look at your complaint independently and it will not affect how we handle your case.

The Legal Ombudsman will only be able to investigate your complaint once you can demonstrate that you have tried to resolve your complaint with us first.

If you have, then you need to take your

complaint to the Legal Ombudsman:

Within six months of receiving a final response to your complaint and

No more than six years from the date of act/omission; or

No more than three years from when you should reasonably have known there was cause for complain

If you require more information about the Legal Ombudsman, please contact them.
