A no win no fee agreement, also known as a conditional fee agreement, is a legal arrangement commonly used in Australian law firms. It allows individuals who may not have the financial means to pursue legal action to still access justice and seek compensation for their claims. Under this type of agreement, if you engage a lawyer or a professional advocate on a no win no fee basis, it means that you will only be required to pay legal or professional fees if your case is successful and results in a favorable outcome. In other words, if your claim is unsuccessful and does not result in any compensation being awarded or settlement reached, then you will not be liable for any legal or fees. The purpose of this arrangement is to ensure that individuals have equal access to justice regardless of their financial situation. It provides an opportunity for those who may otherwise be unable to afford representation the ability to pursue their claims without upfront costs or financial risk. It's important to note that while the fees may be contingent upon winning the case, there may still be other costs associated with pursuing litigation such as filing fees or expert witness expenses. These additional costs are typically separate from the professional fees and would need to be discussed with your chosen representative. When entering into a no win no fee agreement with service provider, it is crucial that both parties clearly understand and agree upon the terms outlined in the contract. This includes discussing how costs will be calculated if your case is successful and what percentage of any compensation awarded will go towards covering these costs.
