"No Win No Fee"
What Is No Win No Fee?
‘No Win No Fee’ is a type of legal agreement that essentially makes it easier to pursue financial compensation, no matter your own personal financial status. Our panel of Solicitors offer to process your claim on a no win, no fee agreement knowing that they take on the financial risk that they might receive no payments for their services. If your case is taken on, you will not be asked to pay any fees upfront or throughout the case, and you will only cover the costs of the service if and when your claim is won, and you receive your compensation.We receive marketing fees from our panel solicitors for successful introductions. You are under no obligation to use our panel solicitors. Any panel members of solicitor we refer you to are an independent professional from whom you will receive impartial and confidential advice. You are free to choose another solicitor and seek legal advice elsewhere.
NASL are a claims management company and only undertake marketing activities which comply with Solicitors Regulation Authority SRA Code of Conduct for Solicitors. We do not give legal advice.
How does your Solicitor get paid if they win your case?
Once one of our panel solicitors takes on your case, you will only have to pay them when you win compensation. The fees of the solicitor will be taken directly from your compensation once it has been recovered. Typically, the percentage that the solicitor will deduct from your compensation as their fees will range from 25% to 42%. However this will be dependent on your claim and your individual circumstances. You will then receive the balance of your compensation.
At the start of your claim, your solicitor will send you a letter together with their full terms and conditions. These may vary between each solicitor, so it is important to have a read through before you sign. Once you have read through everything and you are happy to sign, the solicitor will begin working on your case on a ‘No Win No Fee’ Basis.
Therefore, how much the solicitor will be paid would be agreed with you before taking on your claim. So there are no surprises or unexpected costs, with everything being made 100% clear right from the beginning.
In the unlikely event that you claim is unsuccessful, you would not be expected to pay your solicitor a penny. This is the key benefit of the no win no fee service and takes away the worry of putting yourself at any financial risk.
Other Charges and Termination Fees Your solicitor may charge you a termination fee if you cancel your claim after the 14-day cooling off period. This is because the solicitor cannot bring your case to its conclusion, win or lose. Before you sign with the solicitors please make sure you have asked about Termination Fee’s and other charges.
You may also be charged if you deliberately provide your solicitor with misleading information or are found to be fundamentally dishonest, this in cases where clients have given dishonest and misleading versions of events in the hope of raising a fraudulent claim.
If you miss appointments, hearings, or any prior confirmed engagements you may also be charged. Your solicitor may recommend you take out a legal insurance policy in conjunction with your agreement. If you choose to take this out, you will pay for the policy which will be deducted from your compensation. The policy price will be included in the solicitor’s paperwork where applicable.
