Cost strategy, built into the red method.

Legal fees should not become another source of uncertainty.

​

At the red firm, cost is considered from the beginning, alongside your position, objectives, risks and preferred direction. Through the red method, we build not only the right legal strategy, but also a clear and workable way to fund it.

​

You know what the work involves. You know what you will receive. You know what it will cost. You decide how to move forward.

​

Fixed fees first.

During the red start, whenever possible, each option is paired with a corresponding fixed fee proposal for the red line. Each fee is built around a precise stage, action or deliverable, giving you greater predictability and allowing you to make an informed decision before committing to the next move.

​

Where a single fixed fee is not suitable, the red line may be divided into clear phases. We may also propose capped fees, recurring arrangements or another tailored structure.

Where appropriate and legally permitted, a standard fee may be combined with a success related component to reduce the upfront cost of the proceedings and make the strategy easier to pursue.

​

The objective remains the same: maximum clarity, predictability and alignment between the fee structure and the strategy.

​

Find a way to fund the strategy.

​

The right strategy is not always immediately affordable in its full form.

​

When that happens, the red method helps identify a workable way forward. We may prioritise the most important actions, divide the red line into manageable phases, adapt the payment structure or explore alternative funding arrangements.

​

The objective is not to weaken the strategy. It is to make it executable.

​

Litigation funding.

For suitable claims, independent litigation funding may allow part or all of the legal and procedural costs to be financed by a third party in exchange for an agreed share of the recovery if the matter succeeds.

​

Through the red start, we can assess the legal merits, financial value, likely duration and recovery prospects of the claim. Where appropriate, we can help structure and present the matter to selected litigation funders.

​

Funding is never automatic. Each funder conducts its own assessment and independently decides whether to finance the matter. Any arrangement must preserve your interests, the independence of the legal strategy and your control over the key decisions.

​

During the red start, we also assess whether all or part of the legal costs may be covered by legal expenses insurance or another applicable insurance policy.

​

Starting points.

These starting fees are designed to give you an immediate and transparent view of the investment required for a clearly defined stage of your matter.

Your final fee proposal is tailored in advance through the red method, based on the scope, complexity, urgency and strategic value of the work. You know what is included, what you will receive and what it will cost before moving forward.
