Whilst many firms now offer ‘no win, no fee’ agreements for accident claims, Bell Lax broke the mould and pioneered ‘no win, no fee’ litigation for all types of commercial and civil disputes. We have acted on ‘no win, no fee’ agreements for cases ranging from consumer contract disputes to multi-million pound commercial litigation and everything in between. Following recent changes in the law, we now usually offer a "no win low fee" agreement. How does it work? We agree with you what is a “win”. We only get paid our full fees if you win. That way we share the risks with you and make your claim affordable for you. After years of conducting ‘no win, no fee’ agreements our judgement is well respected and trusted. This means we can often also instruct a barrister on a similar basis too and arrange a ‘no win, no premium’ litigation insurance policy where the premium is deferred to the end of the case, and only payable when you win. Why do we do ‘no win, no fee’? In return for sharing your risks we get paid more if you win. This is known as a success fee. We often find that other solicitors turn down good cases simply because a client cannot afford the litigation costs. Our years of experience enable us to assess a case at the outset and advise a client on the merits of proceeding with the dispute. Where our evaluation suggests you have a strong enough case, we put our money where our advice is and offer to share the risks with you. What happens if I lose? You only pay the agreed amount. Is ‘no win, no fee’ suitable for every case? Following recent changes in the law, people who win cases have to pay the insurance premium and "success fees" out of their damages, so that this must be carefully considered. if you do not want a ‘no win, no fee’ agreement or your case is not suitable for one for some reason, we look at other options too. For example, we might agree a fixed fee for specific work to place you on a firm footing to do the rest.
