Details

APIL Guide to Conditional Fee Agreements provides an up-to-date and practical account of all aspects of running a case with conditional fees and fixed success fees.

The hugely popular APIL Guide to Conditional Fee Agreements, now in its second edition, provides an up-to-date and practical account of all aspects of running a case with conditional fees and fixed success fees. An authoritive explanation of the legal framework in which CFA’s operate is complemented by a host of practical tools such as checklists, model letters and other precedents, and questionnaires that will prove invaluable to claimant PI lawyers.

This edition has been completely re-written to take account of the seismic changes in the area of practice in recent years and will focus on the new CFA regime in force since 1 November 2005 and fixed success fees.

All claimant solicitors and barristers will derive substantial guidance on this issue of running PI cases. Defendant PI Lawyers will also find it useful as a way to gain an insight into the actions of their opponents.
