No Win No Fee Explained

Solicitors that operate on a No Win No Fee basis pay for court stamp duty, expert fees, and any other legal costs that might be associated with your case.

The agreement ensures that solicitors offering their legal services will not charge if the case is unsuccessful. No Win No Fee cases mean you do not pay any legal fees if you do not win, and if you win your case in court or settle it outside of court, then you will have to pay legal fees.

Be sure that you understand the No Win No Fee arrangement before proceeding with your case.
