Conditional Fee Agreement, any risk?

[mkfc]

What do I need to look out for when using a solicitor with Conditional Fee Agreement?

Is there any risk?

Or any other thing that I need to know?

Doesn't anyone have any previous experience of a Conditional Fee Agreement?

Thank you, hope to hear your advice.

Well, you need to check your liabilities under the agreement, things like disbursements will be payable as the case progresses. Check whether you have to pay a success fee and if so when, how much etc.

Youll aslo need to look out for termination rights for the solicitor, some CFAs have strict requirements for example on settlement, if you refuse to accept advice you could get caught on costs.

Also you need to look at whether any ATE insurance is available
