How does it work?
We agree with you what is a “win”. We only get paid if you win. That way we share the risks with you and make your claim affordable for you.
Why do we do no win no fee?
In return for taking that risk we get paid more if you win. (A success fee.)
Who pays the success fee? If you go to court and win, your opponent would usually have to pay not just your ordinary costs, but also your success fee as well! Your opponent pays.
What happens if I lose?
You do not pay us. We have links with specialist insurers who can offer insurance against any costs you have to pay to your opponent if you go to court and lose. If insurance is not available at the start, we can usually get it later on. Often the fact that we are willing to offer a “no win no fee” agreement will encourage insurers to offer you insurance.
I already have insurance
Many of our clients find they have legal expenses insurance as part of their house or business buildings or contents insurance. If you do, we will notify your insurers for you and you do not have to pay. By law, insurers must let you have the solicitor you choose when you are involved in a court case. Our clients choose Bell Lax because whilst your insurers pay the bill, we fight for you.
Is no win no fee suitable for every case?
We have has “no win no fee” agreements for many commercial disputes, ranging from professional negligence claims, to partnership, company and probate cases. We even haven them for defendants. However, if you do not want a “no win no fee” agreement or your case is not suitable for one for some reason, we look at other options too. For example we might agree a fixed fee, do part of the work to set you up to do the rest, or offer a part “no win fee” agreement.
