Partial Contingency Fee Agreements are commonly used in England and Wales when clients seek to manage legal costs while maintaining access to justice. This hybrid fee structure provides flexibility by combining traditional fixed fees with performance-based elements, making legal services more accessible while ensuring law firms receive some guaranteed compensation. The agreement typically details payment structures, success criteria, risk allocation, and termination provisions, all while complying with relevant legislation including the Courts and Legal Services Act 1990 and associated regulations.
