What Are No Win No Fee Claims?
A No Win No Fee claim is usually funded through a Conditional Fee Agreement, often referred to as a CFA. This is a legal contract which sets out how fees are handled during the claim.
In practice, this means:
- You do not pay legal fees at the start of the claim
- Your solicitor is only paid if the claim is successful
- If the claim is unsuccessful, you do not pay your solicitor’s fees
For people in Edinburgh, this makes compensation claims more accessible and allows claims to be assessed on their legal merits rather than personal finances.
