General information only — not legal advice. Published by Edward & Amaury Solicitors, solicitors regulated by the SRA (no. 800525). How that affects what you read.

No Win No Fee

About No Win No Fee

Published by a firm of solicitors, with the interest that creates stated up front. We explain how legal funding works in the US and the UK, and UK readers can start a claim directly with the publishing firm.

This site is published by Edward & Amaury Solicitors (Edward & Amaury Ltd, company no. 12195443), a firm authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority under number 800525. The firm undertakes personal injury, mis-selling and civil litigation work — including work funded by conditional fee agreements, which is exactly what these guides explain. We are therefore not independent of the legal profession, and we do not claim to be. What we do instead is say so on every page, cite the primary law, and point you only to regulator-run directories.

Our mission

"No win no fee" is one of the most-searched and least-understood phrases in consumer law. The term covers two completely different legal frameworks — the US contingency fee model and the UK CFA / DBA system — yet most online sources blur the distinction or push readers straight to a lead-generation form.

We publish plain-English guides covering the statutes, court rules, regulator guidance, and case law that shape no win no fee claims in each jurisdiction. If you think you have a UK claim, you can start it here for a free case review directly from Edward & Amaury Solicitors — the firm named throughout this site, not an anonymous panel. We do not run a panel of multiple competing firms, sell your details to unrelated third parties, or take referral fees from other firms. Where you're not ready to start a claim, we still link to the directories run by the Law Society, the Law Society of Scotland, the Law Society of Northern Ireland and the ABA — none of which pay us.

Editorial principles

  • Source-first. Every guide cites statutes (e.g., LASPO 2012, Courts and Legal Services Act 1990, ABA Model Rule 1.5), regulator publications (SRA, Bar Standards Board, state bar associations), and primary case law where applicable.
  • Interest declared, not denied. The publisher is a practising law firm and says so on every page. We accept no advertising, no sponsored content and no referral commissions from other firms, and we do not run a panel of multiple firms or rank competitors.
  • Jurisdiction-specific. US and UK content is written and reviewed separately. We never apply UK rules to US questions or vice versa.
  • Updated. Pages carry a "Last updated" date and are reviewed at least annually, and immediately after any material change in statute or court rules.

What this site is and is not

The publisher is a law firm — that is the point of the disclosure above, and it is why this page does not describe the site as independent. But this website is not a solicitor. Reading it, or contacting us about it, creates no solicitor-client or attorney-client relationship. Everything here is general information about how legal funding works, not advice on your circumstances. Always take advice from a qualified, regulated professional in the relevant jurisdiction before acting on your own case.

We are not a claims management company. Claims management companies are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority; a solicitors’ practice is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. We do not buy or sell leads on the open market, and we do not operate a panel of multiple firms — our claim form connects UK readers directly and only with Edward & Amaury Solicitors, the firm named throughout this site.

We are also not a directory or a ranking of multiple firms. Where a page isn't about starting a claim, it links to the regulator and professional-body directories instead.
