Only pay a fee if you receive compensation

Where we offer No Win No Fee services typically customers pay 25% of the amount recovered by our solicitors, although this will be subject to your individual circumstances and the actual fee may be less than this but it will never be more. Success fees are common practice and they were introduced when the law changed in April 2013.

First4Lawyers are an award winning claims management company with a track record of delivering service that our clients love.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is No Win No Fee?

No Win No Fee means you don’t need to worry about paying for upfront legal fees. Quite simply, if a solicitor takes on your case and you don’t win any compensation, you don’t pay them any fees. There’s no catch. If you don’t win, you don’t pay.

How does No Win No Fee work?

No Win No Fee arrangements (also known as a conditional fee agreement, or CFA) were introduced to give those who couldn’t afford legal representation access to the justice they needed to make a compensation claim.

Solicitors work on a success fee, rather than charging any upfront costs.

What percentage do No Win No Fee solicitors take?

If you win, our solicitors take a success fee from the final compensation of up to 25%.

This is always discussed with you before the claim process begins so there are no nasty surprises or unexpected costs at the end.

Are all legal cases covered by No Win No Fee?

Not every legal case can be covered by No Win No Fee, but certain civil cases – meaning those not involving criminal charges – can come under this type of conditional fee agreement.

Medical negligence and personal injury claims – including accident at work claims – are classed as civil cases, and are covered by No Win No Fee in England and Wales.

There are different rules for personal injury and medical negligence in Northern Ireland and Scotland, and in some cases, you can make a No Win No Fee claim for employment issues.

Is there a time limit for making a claim?

There is usually a three-year period from the date of the accident in which you can claim. It’s a good idea to get in touch with us, though, as there are a few exceptions to this.
