How Does "No Win, No Fee" Work?

Our No Win, No Fee guarantee means you face **no financial risk** when pursuing your employment claim with us.

Here's the simple explanation:

  • No Upfront Costs: You don't pay any fees to start your case or for our time working on it.
  • We Cover Expenses (Typically): In most cases, we cover standard disbursements required to run your case. We'll clarify this in our agreement.
  • You Only Pay If We Win: A "win" typically means we successfully negotiate a settlement for you or win your case at the Employment Relations Authority or Employment Court.
  • Our Fee: If we win, our fee is calculated as an agreed percentage of the compensation you receive. This is clearly outlined in our agreement *before* you commit.
  • If We Don't Win: If your case is unsuccessful, you pay us nothing for our time or effort. Simple as that.

This arrangement allows everyone access to justice, regardless of their financial situation. Start with a free, no-obligation chat to see how we can help.

Do You Have an Employment Issue We Can Help With?

Many of our No Win, No Fee cases involve unfair dismissal. This might apply if your employer:

  • Didn't follow a fair process
  • Didn’t give you a valid reason or any reason at all
  • Acted harshly, unreasonably, or without proper warning

We handle various employment issues on a No Win, No Fee basis. If you feel unfairly treated, talk to us free of charge.

What Could You Be Entitled To?

If your claim is successful, the Employment Relations Authority can award:

  • Lost wages — up to 13 weeks or more
  • Reinstatement in your role (optional)
  • Compensation for emotional distress
  • Reimbursement of legal or advocacy costs

Real Clients. Real Outcomes.

I was dismissed without warning. Andrew helped me reach settlement and receive an apology from my employer giving me a sense closure, and I didn’t pay a cent upfront
