NO WIN NO FEE: Funding a Professional Negligence claim under a Conditional Fee Agreement
One of the most popular methods of funding a professional negligence claim is under a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), a scheme commonly referred to as “No Win-No Fee”.
If we agree to take your professional negligence claim on under a CFA you will only be required to pay solicitors fees if the claim is successful. And because the loser is normally required to pay the winner’s legal costs you can expect to recover most if not all of those costs from your opponent.
If you lose your professional negligence claim then you will not have to pay the fees incurred by the solicitors, though you do remain responsible for any expenses incurred such as court fees.
Other methods of funding a professional negligence claim include Public Funding (formerly known as Legal Aid), Legal Expenses Insurance and the traditional private client arrangement.
We will consider all of these options with you at the outset of your professional negligence claim to ensure that the method of funding is the one best suited to your circumstances.
