What Is A No Win-No Fee Agreement

Fear of legal fees stop many people with strong claims from contacting a solicitor. Whether it’s personal injurymedical negligenceor housing disrepair, not knowing how to pay for legal services can prevent people from seeking justice.

Fortunately, most solicitors in these areas offer no win no fee agreements, making it easier for individuals to pursue compensation without upfront costs. This ensures that negligent acts or unresolved housing issues are addressed and those responsible are held accountable.

What Is a No Win No Fee Agreement

no win no fee agreement is often called a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). Under this arrangement:

  • You do not pay solicitor fees if you lose your case
  • You may still need to cover certain expenses, called disbursements (e.g., expert witness fees, court costs) depending on your contract

This structure allows more people to access legal support without financial risk.

How Does a No Win No Fee Arrangement Work?

If your solicitor agrees to a no win no fee arrangement, they can take out an insurance policy on your behalf to cover costs incurred during the claim. These costs typically include:

  • Expert witness fees
  • Court fees
  • Other disbursements necessary to pursue your claim

By covering these expenses, solicitors make it possible for you to pursue compensation without upfront payments.

How Do Solicitors Get Paid If I Win?

If your claim is successful, your solicitor will charge a success fee.

Because solicitors take on the financial risk in a no win no fee case, they carefully assess the strength of your claim before agreeing to represent you. This means that if your solicitor accepts your case, you can be confident that your claim has a strong chance of success.

Do Most Claims Go to Court?

Fortunately, the majority of personal injurymedical negligenceand housing disrepair claims do not reach court.

Most cases are resolved through an out-of-court settlement, which is faster, less stressful, and avoids additional court costs for all parties involved.
