Case Study

John invested £35,000 into overseas hotels (non-standard investments) four years ago based on the advice of a financial adviser. However, the investments proved to be unsuitable and high-risk for John, leading to significant financial losses over time.

Feeling misled and seeking redress, John reached out to HT Legal Ltd for a consultation. After evaluating his case, we took on John’s non-standard investment claim on a No Win No Fee basis.

Our team meticulously gathered evidence from John’s investment providers and the financial adviser involved. We identified instances of mis-advice and unsuitable product recommendations.

With compelling evidence, we approached the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) on John’s behalf. After just two months, the FSCS confirmed that John had a valid claim and awarded him compensation, including statutory interest of 8%, totalling over £46,000.

John received the maximum compensation available, and our team’s relentless pursuit of justice brought him the redress he deserved.

Every non-standard investment claim is unique. Our priority is to listen and understand the individual circumstances faced by each customer.

Our No Win No Fee claim is based on a contingent fee agreement. You only pay us if your claim is successful.

We cover all costs related to your claim, including expert witness reports, court fees, and After the Event Insurance.

The fee percentage depends on the claim value, complexity, and strength of the case and can range from 15% to 40% plus VAT.

Generally, a non-standard investment claim against a financial adviser will be set at between 15% and 25% of the claim value.

Additional charges would aim to be covered by the defendant.

You will not be charged in the event you cancel the claim after the process has started and costs have been incurred by HT Legal.

You may be eligible to make a No Win No Fee claim if there is sufficient evidence of wrongdoing on behalf of the financial adviser.

This could include providing inappropriate advice, failing to provide paid-for services, overcharging, or lacking disclosure.

Claims that can be pursued on a No Win No Fee basis in relation to Non-Standard Investments include:

  • High risk investments
  • Non-liquid investments such as overseas hotels
  • Unregulated investments
  • Lack of disclosure

There are no upfront costs to you as the client. Any incurred costs by HT Legal will only be chargeable if you cancel the claim before it reaches its conclusion.

No, if you lose the case, you will not be responsible for any costs or fees.

If the claim is successful, the solicitor’s fee will be based on the agreed percentage of the total claim value, as specified in the No Win No Fee agreement.

You will only need to pay the percentage agreed upon as part of your contingent fee agreement if the claim is successful.

The success rate of No Win No Fee claims against Non-Standard Investments varies depending on the type of claim.

Claims related to unsuitable investments and direct financial losses due to bad advice have a higher success rate, while other claims may be less certain.

The time to resolve a No Win No Fee claim against a Non-Standard Investment can vary depending on the complexity of the case, the cooperation of involved parties, and the specific circumstances of the claim.

To support your claim, we will need evidence of the original investment advice.

Our team can assist in gathering this evidence on your behalf by contacting the relevant parties, such as pension providers and financial advisers.

Your case will only go to court if a satisfactory conclusion cannot be reached with the Financial Ombudsman or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

We will strive to achieve a settlement without going to court, but if necessary, we will represent you throughout the legal process.

Various factors, including fees charged, investment performance, statutory interest, loss of benefits, and available evidence, are considered in determining the potential compensation amount.

We have access to expert witnesses who can calculate the exact cost required to restore you to the position you would have been in if you had never received the advice.

Primarily, these claims relate to financial losses caused by inappropriate advice or unsuitable investments.
