Hutcheon Law: No Win No Fee litigation from Liverpool

Hutcheon Law is a niche firm of solicitors based in Liverpool that acts on a No Win No Fee basis for claimants throughout the United Kingdom. The firm describes itself as a specialist litigation practice and states that it represents only claimants, never insurance companies or banks, a positioning it presents as a guarantee of independence when pursuing a case.

Its work is built around compensation claims. The firm says it handles everything from minor to catastrophic injuries and that it can take on claims without requiring clients to attend the office in person in many cases.

Clinical negligence and industrial disease

A substantial part of the practice is devoted to medical claims. The catalogue of services covers clinical negligence and medical negligence claims, including medication error claims, sepsis compensation, foot diabetes claims, delayed cancer diagnosis, cancer misdiagnosis and asbestos-related conditions.

• Mesothelioma claims
• Asbestos claims and asbestos-related lung cancer
• Asbestosis claims
• Medication error and prescription error claims
• Delayed diagnosis and misdiagnosis of cancer

Personal injury and housing disrepair

On the personal injury side, the firm lists claims for slips, trips and falls, accidents at work, life-changing injuries and child injuries, as well as motorbike and cycle accident claims and hit-and-run claims. It also handles housing disrepair claims and compensation for post-traumatic stress.

Abuse, human rights and data protection

Hutcheon Law includes abuse and human rights work among its areas of practice, with specific references to Huntercombe abuse claims and to Harrods and Fulham abuse claims. Data protection claims are listed as a separate line of work.

Class actions and consumer litigation

The firm presents itself as experienced in heavy-duty litigation and maintains an active class action practice. Its site names the Mercedes Dieselgate claim and a UCL group claim, and the Champions League group claims appear in its main navigation. Consumer problems and financial mis-selling are also cited among the matters it handles, alongside sports law.

How the No Win No Fee arrangement works

Under the firm's model, clients do not pay legal fees if a claim is unsuccessful. Hutcheon Law states that its fees start at 0% of the compensation recovered, contrasting this with firms that charge 25%, and that in certain circumstances clients retain 100% of their compensation. It also states that there are no hidden fees and that free, no-obligation advice is available before a client decides to instruct the firm.

Beyond the award itself, the firm says it pursues compensation for pain and suffering together with expenses such as loss of earnings, travel costs and treatment fees, and that it works with healthcare and rehabilitation specialists to support recovery from injuries.
