The basics
What does no win no fee mean?
No win no fee is the everyday name for a conditional fee agreement, or CFA. It is a contract between you and your solicitor. If your claim does not succeed, you pay nothing for our work. It removes the biggest barrier to making a claim, which is the fear of legal bills.
If you win, most of your legal costs are paid by the other side. Anything deducted from your compensation is agreed with you in writing before your claim begins, and the deduction is capped by regulation as well as by your own agreement.
How your claim is protected
- An insurance policy is taken out on your behalf the moment your claim starts.
- If the claim does not succeed, the policy covers the costs and you pay nothing.
- Any extra cost is discussed with you before it is incurred, never after.
- You can ask us to explain any figure at any point, and we will put it in writing.
The money question
What you actually pay, in three scenarios
Most people want this answered before anything else. Here it is,
without the small print doing the work.
Before you start
No consultation fee, no deposit, no hourly
rate. You find out whether you have a claim
before any agreement is signed.
If your claim does not succeed
Your agreement covers our fees and the
After the Event policy covers expenses
such as court fees and medical reports.
If your claim succeeds
The other side pays most of the legal costs.
A success fee comes out of your
compensation, capped by regulation and
set out in writing before you sign.
The exceptions are narrow. If a claim is found to be dishonest, or the terms of the
agreement are broken, you could become responsible for certain costs. Be straightforward with us and the protection holds.
Getting started
Starting your claim is simple
Talk to us
Call for a free, confidential conversation about what happened. We assess your case and give you straight advice on whether it is worth pursuing.
Sign your agreement
If you decide to proceed, you sign a conditional fee agreement and we arrange your insurance policy. There is nothing to pay upfront.
We build your case
We gather evidence, arrange medical reports and negotiate on your behalf, keeping you updated at every step until your claim is resolved.
Evidence such as receipts, correspondence or photographs speeds things up. Missing documents are not a barrier, and we will help you work out
what is needed.
Getting started
- The date and rough location of what happened
- Names of anyone else involved or who saw it
- Any medical treatment you have had since
- Photographs, receipts or correspondence, if you have them
If you have none of this, call anyway. Plenty of successful claims start with nothing but a phone call and a rough date.

Do I need a no win no fee solicitor near me?
No. Personal injury claims in England and Wales are handled almost entirely on paper and by phone. Evidence is gathered remotely, medical appointments are booked near your home rather than near us, and the vast majority of claims settle without anyone setting foot in a courtroom. A local solicitor is a preference, not a requirement.
Where being local does help is if you would find a face to face meeting reassuring. If that is you and you are in or around the West Midlands, our Birmingham office is open by appointment.
Can I make a no win no fee claim anywhere in the UK?
We act for clients across England and Wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland run separate legal systems with their own rules on funding and time limits, so a claim arising there needs a solicitor qualified in that jurisdiction. If you contact us and your claim falls outside England and Wales, we will tell you on the first call rather than after you have signed anything.
Does where I live change what I pay?
No. The terms of a conditional fee agreement do not vary by postcode. There is nothing to pay upfront wherever you are, nothing to pay if the claim does not succeed, and the deduction that applies if it does succeed is set out in writing before you sign.

Frequently asked questions
What does no win no fee mean?
It is a conditional fee agreement: you pay legal fees only if your claim succeeds. If it does not, an After the Event insurance policy covers the costs and you pay nothing.
Do you handle no win no fee claims outside Birmingham?
Yes. Our office is in Birmingham, but we act for clients across England and Wales. Claims are run by phone, email and post, and any medical appointment is arranged near your home rather than near us. Scotland and Northern Ireland have separate legal systems, so claims arising there need a solicitor qualified in that jurisdiction.
Do I have to visit your office to start a claim?
No. You can start and finish a claim without ever visiting us. If you would prefer to meet in person and you are in or near Birmingham, the office is open by appointment.
Can any claim be made on a no win no fee basis?
Not all claims qualify. Personal injury, employment disputes and some consumer claims are the most common. We confirm your eligibility during the free consultation, before anything is signed.
What is deducted from my compensation if I win?
A success fee, which is a percentage of your compensation capped by regulation and by your agreement, plus the insurance premium and case expenses such as medical reports. The rest is yours, and every figure is set out clearly before you sign.
What happens if I lose my case?
In most cases you pay nothing: the After the Event insurance covers the costs. The rare exceptions are dishonest claims and breaches of the agreement.
How long will my claim take?
It depends on the complexity of your case and how cooperative the other parties are. Expect anywhere from a few weeks to several months, and longer for complex cases.
Will I need a medical examination?
Usually yes for personal injury claims. It assesses your injuries and supports your case. We arrange it, near your home, and guide you through the process.
Are there any upfront costs?
No. In rare cases minor disbursements such as court fees can arise, and we always confirm these with you before anything is incurred.
Can I switch solicitors during my claim?
Yes, although it can affect progress and costs. Speak to your current solicitor about your concerns before switching.
Is there a time limit for making a claim?
Usually three years from the date of the incident, or from when you became aware of your injury. Different limits apply to children and to people who lack mental capacity. Starting early protects your claim.
