Fixed Fee Agreements and a Solicitor’s Lien
A solicitor’s equitable lien:
…is a judge-made remedy, motivated not by any fondness for solicitors as fellow lawyers or even as officers of the court, but rather because it promotes access to justice. Specifically it enables solicitors to offer litigation services on credit to clients who, although they have a meritorious case, lack the financial resources to pay up front for its pursuit.
per Lord Briggs in Gavin Edmondson Solicitors Ltd v Haven Insurance Co Ltd [2018] UKSC 21 at §1
