OJN Solicitors can offer a free assessment
of the chances of success of your litigation but if there is a complex point of law, we may require counsel's
opinion to assess the merits of your case. There is a fee of £500 + VAT for the barrister.
PRIVATE FEES
How we calculate our basic charges
These are calculated
for each hour engaged on your matter. Routine letters and telephone calls will be charged as units of one tenth of an hour.
Other letters and telephone calls will be charged on a time basis.

experience including at least eight years litigation experience. | 180.00 | | 2.Solicitors and legal executives with over

solicitors and legal executives and fee earners of equivalent experience | 150.00 | | 4.Trainee solicitors, para legals and other

FIXED-FEES
We may be able
to offer Fixed fees in certain areas of our work at a stage by stage process. We will be able to ascertain
during the initial consultation whether there is a possibility of taking on your case on a fixed fee basis.
NO WIN – NO FEE If your case has a 75% chance
of success and your opponent is credit worthy then you may be able to finance the whole of the legal costs of the litigation
by using a Conditional Fee Agreement. Many types of claim are suitable for a Conditional Fee Agreement, commonly known
as 'no win, no fee'. If your claim is successfulIn a 'no win, no fee' agreement with
OJN Solicitors, we will only be paid if the claim is successful. We will also be entitled to an extra fee (known as a success
fee). Both the basic fee and this extra fee are normally paid in whole or part by the losing party. There are other incurred costs (such as court fees or the fee for a medical report). These are normally
known as disbursements. Again, the losing party should pay all or part of these costs. You are liable to pay OJN Solicitors for any costs that the losing party is not ordered to pay. If your claim failsYou will not have to pay OJN Solicitors, but you will still probably have to pay the costs of the
successful party - the other side. Also, you will have to pay any other incurred costs (such as court fees or the fee for
a medical report). These are normally known as disbursements. However, we will normally be able to arrange insurance to cover
this risk. This is known as 'after the event' insurance. You may have to pay the insurance premium
