If a solicitor agrees to take on a claim under a no win no fee agreement, then an arrangement of this nature can reduce the threat to claimant’s finances and provide them access to expert legal advice and support.
If a solicitor accepts a valid claim under a no win no fee agreement and is successful, then the claimant will be required to pay a ‘’success fee’’ for the services that have been provided. This fee will be taken from the final settlement, and by law, a success fee is capped at 25%. If a solicitor fails to attain a settlement after accepting a valid claim then the claimant will not be required to pay for the services of the solicitor.
