Many things can go wrong with funding arrangements, leading to disputes with your client and at detailed assessment with defendants.  This webinar will guide you on improving your CFAs and advices to your client.  

In particular, Tom will cover:

  • Do I need to notify the defendant of the CFA and ATE?
  • How do I vary a CFA?
  • Is the Litigation Friend liable for costs or the client?
  • What should I do if the client loses capacity?
  • Should I transfer CFAs and ATE policies from previous firms?
  • What should the CFA cover?
  • Should I name the potential defendants on the CFA?
  • What should I do if the client dies?
  • What is informed consent?
  • What happens if I terminate the CFA?
  • What happens if the client terminates the CFA?
  • Should I explain the success fee to the client?
  • Can I claim the costs of an interim application where the claim is not yet successful?
  • Do I need to provide a cancellation notice?
  • Should I advise on the possibility of fixed costs?
