Don't get caught out with legal fees mounting up
Solicitors can be expensive, some charge in excess of £300.00 even £500.00 an hour. Suddenly you are faced with paying legal costs of £30000.00 plus. You have the stress of the claim and now have the stress of paying your Solicitor. We do things differently, we understand that Solicitors costs can prohibit bringing claims. It can stop our clients from having access to justice.
NewBold recognise the importance of keeping your fees as low as possible and at the same time, making sure that you obtain the best possible advice and support. Our fees start from £139.00 plus VAT per hour up to £282.00 plus VAT for the most experienced Solicitor/LegaI Executive we have.
We offer many payment options, including fixed fees, so we are able to help all our client's regardless of their financial position. We keep our over heads as low as possible, so are fees can also be kept low, however, this does not compromise on the level of assistance we provide our clients. Please read our client reviews on Trust Pilot so you can be reassured that even though our fees are low, your files will be receiving our complete attention.
Solicitors fees are subject to VAT which is presently 20%.

Payment Options
Select an option below to read more, or for help choosing the right payment option, please call us on 0330123 1131.
- 60 Minutes Legal Advice
- We are not like most firms, we strongly believe in access to justice and clients do not have unlimited funds to pay out to law firms who are very target driven.
We may be able to offer 60 minute advice at a reduced fixed fee.
- Settling Fees as They Arise
- The client will be provided with the lawyers charge out rate, their qualification, an estimate of the timescale to complete the work and an estimate of the costs we expect to incur to resolve your issue.
The client will be asked to make a payment on account of their costs, this will be held on account and as the work progresses, the lawyer will produce invoices, the money held on account will be deducted to meet those invoices.
Some clients prefer to pay on an ongoing basis (for example, they may be able to claim back the VAT if they are VAT registered), further when the case is concluded in the Clients favour, a Court may order the opponent to repay some or all of the costs paid. Once received, the Client will have those costs transferred back to them. Please note, not all costs may be paid by the losing opponent, many factors have to be taken into account by the Court (e.g. the behaviour of the parties, offers made etc).
- Deferred Payment
- We may be able to offer you legal expense insurance as an option to cover your costs in the event you are unsuccessful with your claim. The insurance premium will be due only if you win your case and will be paid out of your damages (compensation/award). If you are not successful then you do not pay this premium or your Solicitors costs.
The Solicitors costs are not paid until the end of the case, and only if you are successful. There may also be a success fee (an uplift) that will be added to your costs (any success fee will be discussed with you).
Please check that you do not have any other insurance to cover your legal issue (e.g. your own home or motor insurance policy).
This scheme is not available for conveyancing matters, probate or wills, or some family and some property disputes. The scheme is only available if your case has been estimated to have over a high chance of success. We charge a nominal fee to assess your case in order to determine the most appropriate payment option.
Not all cases, or clients are suitable for this scheme, but we will happily discuss this with you if you are interested in a NO WIN NO FEE option.
- Installments
- This arrangement is very popular with our clients. It allows the client to decide how much they are able to pay each month, it allows the Client to spread the cost of paying their legal bills.
We agree with you how much you can afford, how complex the case is and how long it will take to complete and then together, an instalment figure will be agreed.
If an installment is agreed and subsequently not paid, then all the costs due will be requested in one lump sum payment.
- Insurance
- We may be able to offer you legal expenses insurance as an option for payment, this means that we will only charge you if we win your case, the insurance company will pay your legal costs if you are unsuccessful. This is often known as ‘NO WIN NO FEE’ or a Conditional Fee Arrangement (CFA).
Please check that you do not have any insurance to cover this with your own home or motor insurance policy. If you would like to explore this further, then please speak to our staff. It is sadly not available for conveyancing matters, probate or wills, or some family and property disputes.
- Debit & Credit Cards
- We do accept both, but credit cards are taken at our discretion. We will try and accommodate you if we can.
As a law firm, we are unable to provide our clients with financial advice, which will be their best option for payment and what the most suitable product is for them.
Our charges start from £139.00 plus VAT per hour (it depends upon the grade of Fee Earner you wish to instruct and who is most suitable for the complexity of the work).
- No Win - No Fee
- We have a service that is able to offer a solution to your funding problems. We have a unique NO WIN NO FEE service. There may be some costs that do come out of any damages (compensation) that you receive, but we will always explain this to you at the outset, and always ensure that they are fair and transparent. If you are unsuccessful (which is very rare), then we have a unique insurance policy an (ATE) that we can arrange which will pay the Landlords costs. The insurance is free if you are unsuccessful.
