No Win, No Fee
Lawyers

A No Win No Fee lawyer offers a unique fee arrangement: you won’t pay any legal fees associated with building your case, including the barrister that we brief, unless your case is successful. This means you can pursue your claim without worrying about upfront costs if your case is unsuccessful. GMP Law operates on this principle, allowing you to focus on recovery while we handle the legal complexities.

A conditional fee arrangement (also called No Win No Fee) is an agreement where you only pay legal fees if your case succeeds. At GMP Law, our conditional fee arrangement also covers all disbursements, including costs like medical reports, expert witnesses, and court fees that other firms require you to pay upfront. This provides complete financial protection.

In a no win no fee arrangement, lawyers typically take a percentage of the compensation you receive if you win your case. This percentage usually ranges from 25% to 40%, depending on case complexity and the specific terms of your agreement.

If the law firm charges a fixed percentage after a successful settlement, this amount should be clearly outlined in your contract before you proceed with the case. In some cases, the percentage may be higher if the case goes to trial or requires additional legal work.

Some firms may not set a fixed percentage and instead determine fees based on the steps required to prove your claim. This means your legal fees could fall at either the lower or higher end of the typical range. It’s rare for No Win No Fee fees to exceed this range. GMP Law does not operate with a fixed percentage arrangement; we charge based on actual time spent, which often results in lower total costs.

It’s crucial to discuss and fully understand the terms of your agreement with your lawyer to ensure you’re clear on the costs involved and avoid any surprises.

At GMP Law, we charge based on hourly rates for time spent on your case, rather than taking a fixed percentage. This typically results in lower fees than percentage-based firms.

Additionally, we often recover party costs from the opposing side, further reducing the amount deducted from your settlement. We provide detailed cost estimates during your initial consultation.

If your No Win No Fee lawyer settles your case out of court, they will still deduct their legal fees and disbursements from the settlement amount as outlined in your agreement.

Before agreeing to a settlement, it’s important to discuss with your lawyer how their fees will be calculated and ensure you’re clear on the final amount you will receive after any deductions. We provide detailed breakdowns before you accept any settlement.
