We pride ourselves on being an entrepreneurial law firm in that, in a number of areas, we are prepared to take calculated risks for the mutual benefit of the firm and our clients. We display this entrepreneurial spirit in a number of different ways to include the wide variety of options with regard to charging/sources of funding that we offer clients involved in contentious matters.
Indeed, as can be seen from our website (www.healys.com) the Commercial Litigation department at Healys offers the full range of charging/funding in addition to the traditional retainer of charging clients on a time spent basis and providing no assistance to that client in funding the legal fees thereby incurred.
Indeed, in many instances, our clients would not be willing or able to pursue a claim without some form of risk sharing. By way of example:
"Sherborne Land is a small but fast-growing commercial property developer and investor. Since 2005 Healys have provided all elements of the broad range of commercial legal advice that we, and our group companies, have needed. In 2007 I had to seek the advice of Robert Johnson in the Commercial Litigation department. I am extremely glad that I did – in January 2010 I was awarded substantial damages for a wrong that I had suffered. Although the whole process is obviously a fraught one, which is not to be undertaken lightly, Robert helped me through with confidence, calmness and assuredness. His knowledge of both the law and due process were excellent whilst maintaining an awareness of my commercial needs. It is undoubtedly true to say that during the time that the litigation lasted, I viewed Robert as a partners as well as an advisor, in no small part because he and Healys shared the commercial risk by undertaking the matter on a "no win no fee" basis. Without his marvellous support I would not have had the courage to take action and would not be in the happy state that I find myself in today."
