I have to pay a new solicitor to finish the work, who will pay my new solicitor’s fees?
You can claim legal fees from us for your new solicitor if you:
- Are claiming for missing money;
- have already paid your previous solicitor to do the work; and
- now have to go to a new solicitor to get them to finish the work for you.
For example, if you have a conveyancing transaction that your new solicitor must finish and they have to do the typical work, we will pay them the current guideline fee. If they have to do less than the usual work, we will pay them a smaller fee."
