Document background
Mixed Contingency Fee Agreements have emerged as a flexible solution for funding legal services in England and Wales, particularly in commercial litigation and complex disputes. These agreements provide access to justice by allowing clients to pursue claims while sharing risk with their legal representatives. A Mixed Contingency Fee Agreement typically includes provisions for both fixed or hourly rate payments and success-based fees, ensuring alignment of interests between lawyer and client. The agreement must comply with strict regulatory requirements, including fee caps and transparency obligations, while providing clear terms for payment structures, success criteria, and risk allocation.
