No Upfront Fees: No Win No Fee Explained for Northern Ireland

Worry about legal fees stops many people from making a claim they are entitled to. With Kearney Law Group there are no upfront fees: you pay nothing to start your claim, our legal insurance protects you from legal costs if it doesn’t succeed, and if you win, you keep 100% of your compensation.

No Win No Fee Explained

“No win, no fee” is the everyday name for a conditional fee agreement. In England and Wales, it usually means you don’t pay your solicitor if you lose, but if you win, a success fee of up to 25% of your compensation can be taken as part of the solicitor’s fee.

Conditional fee agreements are not permitted in Northern Ireland, so no solicitor here can offer one. What Kearney Law Group offers instead gives you the same protection, and nothing is taken from your compensation.

What you can count on:
