NO WIN NO FEE EMPLOYMENT CLAIMS

Our specialist lawyers operate under the no win no fee employment compensation claims scheme whereby our clients need not use their own finances to fund a claim and take no risks with their own money. The ‘official’ name for this type of arrangement is a ‘Conditional Fee Agreement’ or CFA. These were initially introduced to gradually replace the overstretched Legal Aid scheme whereby the victims of negligence could apply for public funding to cover the cost of making a case in court.

Taking a no win no fee employment compensation claim to a judge at an Employment Tribunal or Employment Appeal Tribunal using our solicitors is entirely risk free and we do not ask our clients to pay any fees or fund any part of the claim process. In the unlikely situation that the claimant loses the case there will still be nothing to pay.

Conditional Fee Agreements were first introduced in 1998 when the Government, through the Legal Aid Board ceased funding the Legal Aid Scheme for personal injury compensation claims (the government still provides a level of funding but this tends to be only for certain medical negligence claims). The CFA permits a solicitor to only be paid if and when he or she wins compensation for a client. If the case is lost then the solicitor or legal team must write off the expenses and no charge may be made to the client. In the case of no win no fee employment compensation claims if the claim is won then the solicitor claims a percentage of the award in lieu of fees which are not awarded by the Industrial Tribunal which makes a bare award of compensation and nothing more.
