All over the world The ‘no win no fee’ system means claiming the compensation you deserve is risk-free.

No win no fee compensation claims were introduced to the UK in 1995 to help people get a fair hearing and access to justice, even if they couldn’t afford to pay for legal representation themselves.

In United Kingdom UK, If your claim is unsuccessful for some reason, you don’t pay a penny. Your solicitor simply does not get paid – no win no fee. Solicitors can still offer a no win no fee service, but claimants may be expected to contribute to their legal costs from any compensation they receive.

In Australia, the Law Firms offer this guarantee to alleviate any financial worry for litigant and his family during the course of litigation / case.

In UK No win, no fee lawsuits still exist but they are now far less attractive for both lawyers and clients. Previously, if claimants won their case, they kept any damages awarded in full. It was the losing side that paid the claimant’s legal costs plus an all important “success fee”.

If your claim is successful, many companies in UK make sure that client / litigant keep at least 75% of the compensation he is awarded.

The legal system is slightly different for those living in Scotland, where the solicitor’s fee which is deducted from clients compensation differs slightly. However, just like in England and Wales, if client don’t win, he don’t have to pay a penny.

In United Kingdom under the new arrangements, successful claimants still won’t pay any fees to cover lawyers’ costs. However, if you win, you – not the losing side – would have to pay a “success fee”, an uplift previously sought by lawyers from the opposing side. It covered their risk for taking on the case in case they lost and no fees were recoverable.
