No win - no fee

Our no win - no fee option if very simple. If we do not recover a sum that you are happy with, you do not pay us. Your payment is contingent on us negotiating a settlement or winning an award at tribunal and will be expressed as a percentage of actual sums received from your employer (or only additional sums where there is an existing offer). This is known as a ‘contingency fee’ form of funding.

Philip Landau, who heads the employment law department has more than a 70% success rate in a recovering further sums for his clients - either where there is an existing offer available or otherwise. This represents a no-risk option for you at a time when you can least afford to pay high legal fees.

Not every case is accepted on a no win - no fee basis, but we will try to do so if we can, even if it is not possible to act all the way to an employment tribunal hearing.

If a case does go to a hearing, you will need to pay the barrister’s fees for representing you and this is a separate disbursement that you will be unlikely to recover from your employer, even if you win the case. It should be noted, however, that very few cases go as far as the hearing stage, so in practical terms this is unlikely to present itself as an issue.

Many employment lawyers will not touch no win - no fee funding because the risks are too high. Whilst this may well be the case, we have operated in this area for a significant period of time and our success rate speaks for itself. In short, we will take that risk unless there are good reasons not too, in which case we will discuss with you other funding options.
