I am a barrister. As a general rule no win no fee work is for personal injury type work and will dispute cases ie the kind of work that Slater & Gordon is known for. It occurs in personal injury litigation because the client has a proven injury but does not have the funds to pay until a judgment is given. In theory it is high risk but you only take cases that have a strong prospect of success and it is permitted to charge an "uplift fee" of around 25% for taking on the risk.

OK then for PI work Barristers will accept NW-NF. For CA NW-NF I expect barristers are paid as the case progresses just like SGH. Can you tell me if barristers are paid as case progresses by SGH as an expense or are barristers paid directly by the funder?
