What Are No Win No Fee Employment Solicitors?
No Win No Fee solicitors work on a Damages Based Agreement (DBA), meaning:
- You pay no legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful
- Fees are only taken as a percentage of your compensation if the case is won
- This arrangement allows you to pursue claims without upfront financial risk
Why this matters: Employment disputes are stressful and costly. A No Win No Fee arrangement ensures you can protect your career and income without additional stress.
How Does a No Win No Fee Arrangement Work?
- Case Assessment - We review your timeline, documents, and employment history.
- Legal Merits Review - Our solicitors assess the likelihood of success and advise on strategy.
- Formal Agreement - If suitable, a DBA is signed outlining fees only payable if successful.
- Representation - Your solicitor manages negotiations or tribunal proceedings.
- Outcome - If successful, you pay a pre-agreed percentage; if unsuccessful, you pay nothing except possible disbursements (e.g., expert reports).
Note: Tribunal claims rarely involve costs, but disbursements may apply. You will always be informed in advance.
