Litigation can be expensive — but it doesn’t always have to be. At FS Litigation, we work with clients to identify flexible funding options that help reduce financial risk while preserving access to justice.

We frequently act for claimants under a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA) — often referred to as a "no win, no fee" arrangement. Under a CFA, our fees become payable only in the event of a successful outcome, whether by court judgment or settlement (as is more often the case).

The vast majority of our professional negligence cases are conducted on a CFA basis, reflecting both our confidence in the strength of the claims we take on and our commitment to aligning our interests with those of our clients.

This level of risk-sharing is rare — particularly among top-ranked litigation firms. FS Litigation is one of the few firms of our standing prepared to act on a contingent basis in high-value, complex commercial disputes.

Where appropriate, we work with leading counsel teams who are also willing to act on a CFA basis. This means that in many cases, the client need only fund disbursements (such as court fees or expert reports) during the course of the claim.

Where a claim is successful (either at Court or more commonly in earlier settlement), it is usually possible to recover a significant proportion of your legal costs from the opposing party in addition to damages.

If you’re considering pursuing a claim, we will assess whether a CFA is appropriate based on its legal merits and commercial viability.
