Frequently asked questions

How do you settle cases?

Which Fee is applicable?

b. Mandate Fee is used in many industries including Financial, mergers and acquisition, real estate industries.

"To provide for contingency fees agreements between legal practitioners and their clients; and to provide for matters connected therewith". Refer to the Act https://bit.ly/3jM2hM8.

e. The Act states that "the total of any such success fee payable by the client to the legal practitioner, shall not exceed 25 per cent of the total amount awarded".
f. The Act allows for disbursements. In practice, attorneys do bill for such.
g. The final percentage is typically in the north of 35%, hence the notion that a client may only expect to be charged a capped rate at 25% is a misinformed.

i. The rate is fixed irrespective of the outcome.
j. I the event of a no win outcome you wil owe us nothing.
