FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
IS ARGENT LAW REGULATED?
Yes. We are regulated by the Legal Services Regulatory Authority, the independent regulator for legal services providers set up under Legal Services Regulation Act 2015.
WHAT IS 'NO WIN - NO FEE'?
This when the solicitor and barrister in your case only charge if you win or settle your case. ‘No win - no fee’ is offered to clients where the solicitor and barrister are confident you would win and they get paid. Usually only very strong cases are taken on ‘no win - no fee’ otherwise the lawyers involved would not get paid. The only upfront cost to you is the Stamp Duty which is the tax charged by a Court to start a case (paid when the legal paperwork is filed with the Court).
​
For the avoidance of doubt, and in full transparency under Section 149 of the Legal Services Regulatory Act 2015, no legal fees will be charged as a percentage or proportion of any damages that may be recovered or awarded by a Court. Also, no legal costs to Junior Counsel will be charged as a percentage of Senior Counsel's costs. In contentious matters a barrister can only be instructed by a solicitor for legal services.
WHO PAYS THE LEGAL COSTS?
It is standard practice in most cases that the winner doesn’t pay their legal costs and the loser pays instead. This is the principle of ‘costs follow the event’ that applies to all civil cases and the courts award costs to the winner (in addition to any compensation awarded) so it usually does not cost the winner to take the case.

HOW MUCH OF MY COMPENSATION DO I KEEP?
100% Nothing is taken from your compensation as legal costs are usually paid by the losing side.

DO YOU OFFER 'NO WIN - NO FEE' ON ALL LEGAL CASES?
No, the only cases taken on "No win – No fee” are cases with a high likelihood of success so it is expected the losing side pay legal costs.
