No win no fee employment solicitors

Redmans are specialist no win no fee employment solicitors helping clients in London and nationwide. We have experience in all types of employment law cases and are able to offer expert advice to employees on all potential claims they may have, whether these are in the Employment Tribunal or civil courts.

Your case will always be handled by an experienced employment law solicitor.

What is ‘no win no fee’?

‘No win no fee’ means just that: if you are not ‘successful’ with your claim then you will not have to pay us any fees. ‘Success’ normally means winning your Employment Tribunal claim or an agreed settlement, so normally in these types of cases we don’t get paid unless you do. If you are successful with your claim (or if your case is settled on an agreed basis) then we will normally take an agreed percentage of any amount that is awarded by the court or under the settlement (as applicable).

How our no win no fee funding works

We would assess your case and, if we’re able to take your case on a no win no fee basis, then we would let you know and offer you funding on a no win no fee basis. As detailed above, ‘no win no fee’ means that if you are successful with your claim then we would be paid a percentage (normally no more than 35%, and usually between 15% and 35%) of any award made by the Tribunal or settlement reached between the parties; if you’re not successful with your claim then you will not normally owe us anything. Hence ‘no win no fee’.

What kind of cases do we take on a ‘no win no fee’ basis

Most cases that we deal with on a ‘no win no fee’ basis are ‘pre-action’, meaning that the claim hasn’t been issued yet and we are trying to obtain a settlement for you before you issue the claim – it is normally better, all things being equal, to settle your claim without starting litigation in the Employment Tribunal because you avoid the cost, stress, hassle, and time of dealing with an Employment Tribunal claim.

We do, on occasion, offer ‘no win no fee’ funding for claims brought in the Employment Tribunal, but we are very strict about when we take on a case brought in the Employment Tribunal.
