‘No Win No Fee' is a term generally used in British Language to describe the Conditional Fee Agreement between a law firm and their client. Under this agreement, lawyers are allowed to take a case further if their clients have lost previously. In such a case, the client will not have to pay any extra amount for further defense and still be accountable for the defendants cost if the case is lost. If lawyers win such a case then they are entitled to their standard fee plus uplift extra referred to as a success fee.

The No win no fee structure was announced in the UK in 1995. These days, several personal injury cases use this procedure.
