What is a Contingency Fee Agreement?

“No Win, No Fee”, “We don’t get paid unless you do”, “No fee unless successful”… these are the words often used by law firms to describe contingency fee agreements. In New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI and in North America for that matter, contingency fee agreements are the most common arrangement for hiring a lawyer in a personal injury case. But what does it mean exactly?

Basically, the lawyer’s legal fees are conditional on success. Most contingency fee agreement state the client will not have to pay legal fees if the lawyer is not successful in obtaining financial compensation for the client. Usually, the legal fees will be charged as a percent of the total damages compensation obtained by settlement.
