If you have a claim that has legal merit but cannot afford to pay for a lawyer, a no win, no fee arrangement can help you enforce your legal rights. Our lawyers in Adelaide and Mount Barker offer their services on a no win, no fee basis in personal injury and inheritance disputes.

What Is a No Win, No Fee Arrangement?

When you retain a lawyer on a no win, no fee basis, you don’t have to pay us for your lawyer’s professional services unless your claim is successful. And if your claim is not successful, you don’t have to pay us for your lawyer’s professional services at all.

No Win, No Fee Costs

No win, no fee arrangements have some catches. Even if you retain a lawyer on a no win, no fee basis, you still have to pay disbursements. A disbursement is a cost that a lawyer pays on your behalf, such as a fee paid to a medical practitioner for preparation of a medical report. We will always let you know before we incur such costs.

If your claim is successful, we will charge an additional percentage of your lawyer’s professional costs—not an additional percentage of the amount of damages you receive—to compensate us for the fact that we have taken on the risk that your claim may fail and that we were paid only at the conclusion of your matter.

Finally, if your claim is unsuccessful, there is a risk that a court may order you to pay the other side’s legal costs. This is a risk that exists in all litigation and not just where you choose a no win, no fee arrangement.

Do I Qualify for No Win, No Fee?

Our lawyers offer no win, no fee arrangements primarily in personal injury claims, including motor vehicle accidents, WorkCover, and medical negligence claims. We also offer no win, no fee arrangements in inheritance disputes, and in certain other matters.

Before we will enter into a no win, no fee arrangement with you, we will need to be satisfied that—

• your claim has legal merit; and
• you cannot afford legal representation.

We do not usually offer no win, no fee arrangements in family law or commercial matters.
