Author: Aaariess | Posted: 09.01.2012

No win no fee, as the name suggests, is an agreement between a firm and a client that if

the case is lost there wouldn’t be any payment. The solicitor receives the payment only

when the verdict is favourable.

No win no fee arrangement act as a strong motivator for the solicitor to work sincerely

on the case. This also helps those clients who can’t afford to pay solicitor’s fees and

litigation costs. In cases where clients pay on hourly basis, outcome of the case does

not make any immediate economic difference to the solicitor. This also reduces a number

of ineffectual cases because of the financial risk involved. Another advantage of this

arrangement is that the case is settled out of the court. Most of the communication will

happen on phone or email, you will seldom have to appear in the court this makes the

process easier and removes much of the hassles we face while involved in any litigation.

On the other hand, in case of no win no fee claims arrangement lawyers only pick the

claims which are most likely to succeed. As understood, there are several cases which

require extensive research and investigation before the outcome can be assessed. In no

win no fee claim situations, such cases might not be taken up because of the risks and

cost involved.

will be guided free of cost throughout the case. No win no fee advice allows you to have

opposite party and the vice versa. An analysis of pros and cons of the no win no fee

advice agreement is important. A strong case needs to be in the hand of experienced

solicitors as the stakes are high.

Consider the cases involving working class people having industrial accidents. In those

cases, legal fees are really difficult to be paid. For those cases there exists a

personal injury lawsuit called no win no fee claims. In case of no win no fee claims,

different lawyers. The lawyers charge a success fee which is a certain percentage of the

arrangement gives peace of mind to the client and also motivates the solicitors to give

their best to win the case. Here the client has greater chance to win the case.
