For unfair/wrongful dismissal claims, costs are likely to be in the range of £25,000 to £40,000 plus V20% AT and including Counsel’s fees, to pursue a case to trial. This depends on several factors, including the length of the trial, the complexity of the issues, the number of witnesses etc.

Hourly rates range between £175 to £375 plus 20% VAT depending on the experience of the fee earner.

The above range includes all correspondence, pleadings, disclosure, witness statements and representation at the trial.

We charge a compliance fee per instruction which can cost anywhere between £12.50 – £150 + 20% VAT depending on the number of parties to check and complexity of work involved.

Costs in your case may be higher and a specific estimate would be provided to you at the appropriate time.
