With significant changes to public funding and the rise of litigants in person, many practitioners are looking to provide services on a ‘pay as you go’ or ‘fixed fee’ basis for discrete or separate pieces of work.

Unbundling is an approach whereby the solicitor and client agree which parts of the process the client can undertake without assistance, and for which parts they will require some input from the solicitor.

This toolkit provides a suite of tools to assist solicitors in implementing new methods of unbundling pricing and new ways of working.

This is a practical toolkit for solicitors wishing to offer unbundled services as a more affordable alternative to the traditional retainer and hourly rates pricing approach.
