How to Work with Lawyers

Abstract

Although the conduct and style of legal proceedings in England is different to the United States, there is no doubt that personal injury and other plaintiff lawyers have paid increasing attention to the work of their American cousins over the last 10 years or so. In the United States, the growth of personal injury litigation is largely the result of a contingency fee system, where one successful claim can produce fabulous monetary rewards for the lawyer acting for the claimants, and the willingness of the courts to allow group actions in which the resources of a group of plaintiffs are pooled. The concept of a high-profile plaintiff’s lawyer is a comparatively new phenomenon in the UK. It is an increasing trend which is likely to continue.
