How Do Conditional Fee Agreement Claims Work?

Making a claim with a no win no fee solicitor would involve the signing of a conditional fee agreement, also known as a no win no fee agreement. This is a document that both you and your solicitor would sign, and it lays out the terms and conditions of the lawyer taking on your case, and what conditions would need to be fulfilled for them to receive payment. Usually, the payment is laid out in terms of a percentage, which cannot exceed 25 percent. This is known as a success fee and will be taken from your settlement figure at the end of your claim.
Other important benefits of a no win no fee agreement include;

  • No upfront fee required.
  • No need to pay your solicitor for their fees should you claim not be successful.

Now we’ve taken you through how the process works with a no win no fee solicitor, let us now see what claims could be launched with the assistance of these types of lawyers.
