No win no fee, also known as a conditional fee arrangement, is an agreement you make with your solicitor firm so that you can claim compensation without worrying about upfront legal fees.
- You won't be required to pay any fees if your claim loses.
- Typically customers pay up to 25% of the amount recovered as a contribution to legal fees. This will be subject to your individual circumstances and the actual fee may be more or less than this.
- The calculation for agreeing the total charges will be agreed with you before you decide to go ahead. The total charges will be linked to the time spent on your case by the solicitor and they are required to provide you with a detailed estimate before you proceed.
- If you win, you will have to pay the solicitor's total charges including fees, success fees, and disbursements, from the damages you receive from the other side.
- Your Solicitor may need to arrange insurance to insure your claim is risk free.
- Your solicitor will explain this in detail before you go ahead.
