Fee Structure of Contingency Fees – No Win – No Fee

The majority of our cases are undertaken under a contingency or “no win no fee” basis.  This means that if we do any work for you, and we are not able to achieve a successful result, (ie you end up in the same position as you were in at the stage our company became involved in the case) – then there will be no charge for the services we have provided. However, if we do any work for you, and do achieve a successful result, (i.e. you end up in a better position than you were in at the stage our company became involved in the case) – then there will be a charge for the services we have provided.

Non Contingency Fees (Time and Attendance fees)

We also offer non-contingency fee services such as representation at disciplinary or investigation meetings or for situations where a financial outcome is not being sought and our fee for this service is $250 + GST per hour.

Cost Structure of No Win No Fee Arrangement

Please note:  We always attempt to get a contribution to costs, paid by the employer, that will offset your fees. We also usually waive the base fee on the condition of immediate payment of any outstanding fees on the date you receive settlement from your employer.

For “no win – no fee” cases that are resolved up to and including mediation level – we have a base fee of $300.00; plus 33% (1/3) of any financial settlement that is achieved up to the first $15,000 and then 15% thereafter being $150 per $1,000 over and above $15,000.

Every case is different and we are very fair with our fees.  You will be given a free case assessment in the first instance and it’s entirely your choice if you would like to engage our services after your free case evaluation.
