Our No Win – No Fee arrangement (also referred to as a Contingency Fee agreement) provides access to justice and legal representation to many litigants who would otherwise not be able to afford it. The Contingency Fees Act (Act 66 of 1997) was promulgated by Parliament in direct response to growing concern that access to legal justice was beyond the reach of many, and increasingly restricted to those with the financial resources to pay for it. The Contingency Fees Act sets out strict rules that apply to these type of fee agreements and these will be explained to you in detail.

Under the Contingency Fee agreement, if your claim is unsuccessful you may not need to pay any legal fees. We offer these agreements on a case by case basis if we are satisfied that your claim has legal merit and that you are fully aware of the implications and conditions that apply.

• Work on your claim in a prompt, efficient and professional manner.
• Regularly inform you of the progress of your claim.
