I recently met Gary Eddlestone-Haynes of solicitors Ford Simey in Exeter, who told me about their new service, "U-gain".  I passed this information on to one of my business associates, who has found it to be extremely helpful in dealing with a major legal problem he had with a supplier to his business.

Suing for recompense is an option that has to be considered very carefully. The question arises, can you afford a lawyer to run your case?

Ford Simey has launched U-gain to answer this need. Now, businesses or idividuals can instruct a specialist dispute lawyer safe in the knowledge that the process will be cost-free and risk-free.

It may sound too good to be true, but Ford Simey is offering a modern, cost-free approach to an age old problem. Businesses or individuals pursuing a dispute can often find themselves in a position that is fraught with uncertainty and possible financial loss.

Ford Simey's new U-gain service means that you, or your business do not pay any legal costs, including the other side's, irrespective of whether you win or lose.

An individual, or any size of business, can use U-gain to satisfy most types of dispute. It prevents the need to divert valuable funds and, at the same time, you receive the high quality service you would normally expect from specialist commercial solicitors.

According to Gary Edleston-Haynes, partner and head of Ford Simey Commercial Department: "U-gain is the shape of commercial litigation to come. At the moment, nationally, less that ten per cent of business disputes are dealt with in this manner. Ford Simey clients face no financial outlay to bring their case and are completely protected from having to pay any costs, even if their claim is unsuccessful.

"This is because we are able to offer them a comprehensive funding package, including a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA) and After the Event insurance. The CFA ensures that we only recover our costs from the other side and this is also the case in respect of the insurance premium. It really is a win-win solution".

So with Ford Simey's U-gain there is nothing to pay, no hidden charges and no risk at all to you.
