Unbundling

Unbundling means instead of instructing a solicitor or barrister to undertake your work from start to finish you instruct them only in relation to the most important parts of your matter undertaking the more administrative parts yourself.

By instructing direct access counsel on a piece by piece basis you can significantly reduce your legal cost.  You could instruct counsel to draft your claim, draft your reply, double check your witness evidence advice on disclosure and to attend the trial.   You would then conduct many of the other tasks yourself acting as a litigant in person.

Unbundling is particularly good for companies with well trained administrative staff who can undertake some of the aspects of the litigation themselves. Ask us how Unbundling can save you money without any compromise on quality.
