What “no win no fee” usually means

Conditional fee arrangements for employment cases vary. Some firms offer them for tribunal representation; others focus on settlement advice funded by employer fee contributions. Always read the retainer for success fees, insurance, and what “win” means.

Compared with employer-funded advice

For settlement agreements, employers often pay a fixed contribution toward your solicitor. That is different from funding a tribunal claim. Clarify who pays if negotiations extend or if you issue proceedings.

Risk awareness

Tribunal claims carry outcome risk and cost exposure depending on funding model. Compare with resolving matters via settlement.
