Expert Legal Counsel for Your Business

A no win no fee agreement (also known as a conditional fee arrangement) allows you to make a compensation claim, with no financial risk and without paying any solicitors’ fees upfront. You only ever pay anything if your no win no fee claim is successful. If your case is unsuccessful you won’t have to pay any legal fees – either to your own solicitor.

How Does A No Win No Fee Claim Work?

Making a no win no fee claim usually involves us taking out an insurance policy on your behalf. This insurance policy fully protects you if your claim is unsuccessful. It also means that you can claim compensation without paying a penny upfront. You only ever pay anything if your no win no fee claim is successful, and even then your opponent will pay most of your legal costs. Any remaining costs are deducted from your compensation settlement. We’ll advise you of this in advance, so there won’t be any surprises.

A no win no fee agreement could be used for any type of personal injury claim.

Most of the personal injury claims we handle are paid for using a no win no fee agreement. We’ll assess your personal injury claim in an initial consultation, and we will advise you on whether we think you have a claim. We can then discuss the options for funding your claim. Most people will use a no win no fee agreement, but you might already have legal cover (through legal expenses insurance on your home/car insurance, or through being a member of a trade union).

If your claim is unsuccessful you won’t pay anything. We won’t charge you, while your insurance policy will cover your opponent’s legal fees and costs.

If you win your case your opponent will pay most of your legal costs.

Any legal costs not paid by your opponent will be deducted from the compensation that you receive. These costs include:

• The cost of your no win no fee insurance policy
• Some of your basic legal costs which can’t be recovered from your opponent
• A “success fee” which compensates us for the risk that if your claim was unsuccessful then we would not be paid at all.

Your solicitor will discuss this with you in advance, so you’ll know what to expect when your claim settles.
