Frequently asked questions
Yes. A pre-action assessment compares the facts, contract, evidence, time limits, the opponent's apparent ability to pay, costs and alternatives. The output is not a percentage chance of success, but a map of strengths, weaknesses, evidential gaps and possible routes: negotiation, a formal demand, interim protection, proceedings, or deciding that litigation is not commercially proportionate. Its reliability depends on the completeness of the material and may change after the opponent responds or new evidence emerges. No preliminary view can guarantee a judgment or its enforcement.
Court representation is undertaken by an appointed practising attorney-at-law following two conflict checks: the firm's initial screening and the attorney's own independent check. Before work begins, the scope, the party to the appropriate agreement, the fee and any document required to evidence authority are confirmed. The legal company may coordinate the wider matter and preparation of materials, but it is not presented as a law office or bar association. Submitting a form or email, or paying an invoice, does not by itself mean that representation has been accepted.
An appeal is not automatically included in first-instance work. Once the full judgment is available, its reasoning, the applicable deadline and grounds of appeal, new risks, volume of material and budget are assessed separately. If the appellate stage was expressly included in the original written proposal, that scope applies; otherwise it requires a separate agreement. Do not wait for internal approvals before forwarding the judgment: provide it as soon as received so the actual deadline can be checked against the case materials and current rules.
Disbursements are kept separate from professional fees. They may include court or administrative fees, notarial work, translation, experts, travel, postage and other third-party charges. Before an expense is incurred, we agree its purpose, an estimate or documented amount, who will pay it and how it will be evidenced. Where the exact figure depends on an authority or supplier, that is stated expressly. Such charges are not treated as included unless the written proposal says otherwise, and paying them does not guarantee acceptance of a filing or the outcome of the dispute.
