We invite you to join us for an illuminating webinar that delves into the critical aspects of retainers and their impact on cost recovery. Discover how your retainer can be the key to ensuring payment and maximising your recovery potential.

This session will cover

  • Your retainer is the ticket to being paid. If it is inadequate, there may be no entitlement to recover costs. It’s that important.
  • Ensuring that the relevant Consumer Protection Regulations are complied with, including a notice of the right to cancel where appropriate.
  • Ensuring fee earner definitions in respect of hourly rates do not unnecessarily restrict what can be claimed.
  • Avoiding provisions in retainers which conflict or are inconsistent with each other where standard templates are being used.
  • If action is needed on a retainer, this needs to be taken before the case settles. Afterwards is too late.
  • Ensuring everything is documented on your file.
