CFA (Conditional Fee Agreement)

A Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), often called a "no win, no fee" arrangement, is a contract between a client and a solicitor. Under this agreement, the client only pays legal fees if the case is successful. If the case wins, the solicitor charges a pre-agreed fee, which may include a success fee to compensate for the risk. If the case loses, the client typically owes nothing for legal services, reducing financial risk. CFAs are common in personal injury and other litigation cases, providing legal access to those who might otherwise not afford it.
