What Does No Win, No Fee Mean?
A No Win, No Fee arrangement — sometimes referred to as a Conditional Fee Agreement — means that if your claim is unsuccessful, you will not be required to pay your solicitor's legal fees. You only pay when your case is won and compensation is received.
This arrangement removes the financial barrier to pursuing a legitimate legal claim. Many people who have suffered genuine injuries or losses are deterred from seeking justice because of concerns about legal costs. No Win, No Fee changes that — we carry the financial risk alongside you.
