Whilst a CFA enables us to share the risk in relation to our fees, it still leaves you potentially having to meet your opponent's costs should you lose. Fortunately, there is a small but growing market of insurers who are willing to insure that risk. There are now several products on the market; some require the premium to be paid up-front, others defer it to the end of the case (and only charge it if you have won, which is then paid by your opponent). Some insurers will also re-imburse your expenses.
A discussion on all the types of ATE could go on for some time. Therefore, suffice to say there is likely to be a product which can cover the risks you want to insure against. We will discuss this with you on an individual basis to find the best solution.
