No Win No Fee

About No Win No Fee

We are an independent legal information resource dedicated to demystifying no win no fee arrangements in the United States and United Kingdom.

No Win No Fee is an editorially independent legal information project. Our mission is to give claimants in the US and UK clear, accurate, and jurisdiction-specific information about contingency fees, Conditional Fee Agreements (CFAs), and Damages- Based Agreements (DBAs) — without bias toward any law firm.

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. We do not sell leads, run a panel of solicitors, or take referral fees from law firms.

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.
  • Independent. We accept no advertising from law firms, no sponsored content, and no referral commissions. We have no affiliated panel.
  • 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.
