'No Win, No Fee' model and conditions

The firm explains that the 'No Win, No Fee' agreement means that the client will not be charged if the claim is unsuccessful, subject to terms and conditions. If successful, the client usually pays 25% plus VAT of the amount recovered, a percentage that may vary. Cancellation fees may apply if the client does not cooperate with the lawyer. The firm states that no fees are charged upfront and that payment is only made if the claim succeeds.
