A contingency fee agreement is the contract between you and us. It means that our fees are contingent on the successful resolution of your lawsuit. We do not get paid until after your claim is resolved, and only if you receive compensation at trial or in a negotiated settlement. Since our fees depend on your success, you can rest assured that we will always give your case the time, expertise and attention it deserves.
To help protect your interests, effective July 1, 2021, our governing body, the Law Society of Ontario (“LSO”) introduced a Standard Form Contingency Fee Agreement, along with new rules for these agreements. A copy of the LSO Standard Form Contingency Fee Agreement can be found here: lawsocietyontario-dwd0dscmayfwh7bj.a01.azurefd.net/media/lso/media/about/initiatives/en_contingencyfee_consumerguide-april2021.pdf.
If, prior to retaining Campisi LLP, you have questions about the fee structure or questions raised by the LSO’s guidance, please email us at info@campisilaw.ca or call us at 416-203-1115 and we’d be happy to answer your questions.
The amount you will pay us for the legal services we provide to you, up to and including trial (if necessary), is calculated as a percentage of the total amount you are awarded at trial or are offered as a final settlement of your claims. As well, at trial, and often during settlement negotiations, the defendants will pay for your damages and an additional contribution towards your legal costs. Any costs provided by the defendants will be used to offset our fees.
Generally, our contingency fee for personal injury matters is 33% of your settlement amount or award at trial, plus HST. However, our fee might be lower than 33%, depending on the specific circumstances of your case.
Let’s assume your case settles for a total amount of $125,000 (referred to as “all-in”) with the following breakdown provided by the defendant:
