Funding models: no win no fee

The firm states that, in the vast majority of cases, it carries out a free assessment and advises on the merits of the claim. Based on that prior assessment, it offers its services under the no win no fee model: the client pays nothing upfront when instructing one of its lawyers and, if the claim does not succeed, no fee is charged. Where that model cannot be applied, the firm states that it has other funding options available, including an agreed fee, fixed and not variable upwards or downwards, regardless of the outcome of the case.
