NSW No Win No Fee Lawyers.
What does No Win No Fee mean for NSW compensation claims?
In NSW, a No Win No Fee (conditional costs agreement) means you pay no legal fees unless your claim succeeds — governed by the Legal Profession Uniform Law (NSW). For CTP claims under the Motor Accidents Injuries Act 2017 and icare disputes under the Workers Compensation Act 1987, costs in statutory benefit proceedings are regulated by SIRA and in many cases paid by the insurer, not deducted from your compensation. At AMK: $0 upfront, no interest on outlays, and no uplift fees.
Our No Win, No Fee guarantee means anyone across New South Wales can pursue the compensation they deserve without risking a cent upfront — and without the hidden charges other firms bury in the fine print.

Answer a few quick questions about what happened. We'll tell you what your claim could be worth — free, and with no obligation.
What Does No Win No Fee Actually Mean In NSW?
It means you pay nothing to start your claim, nothing while it runs, and no legal fees at all if it doesn't succeed. In NSW, these arrangements are called conditional costs agreements and are governed by the Legal Profession Uniform Law (NSW) — the financial risk sits with us, not you.
We also fund the out-of-pocket expenses — medical reports, expert opinions, court filing fees — as the claim progresses. At the end, you're invoiced only for the actual expense incurred: no margins added, no surprises. Your Cost Agreement is in plain English and signed before anything starts.
Do You Pay Anything If You Lose?
At AMK: no legal fees, full stop. Be careful elsewhere — some 'No Win, No Fee' agreements still let the firm recover outlays from you if the claim fails, or load the file with litigation lending and interest charges.
Under the Legal Profession Uniform Law (NSW), your conditional costs agreement must be in writing and disclose all costs clearly — including what happens to disbursements on a loss. Read it before you sign, ask what happens to outlays if you lose, and ask whether interest accrues. If the answers are vague, that is your answer. We will review another firm's cost agreement for you, free of charge, before you commit.
What Are The NSW Cost Protections For CTP And Workers Compensation?
NSW has specific regulated costs for both CTP and workers compensation matters — and in many statutory benefit proceedings, costs are paid by the insurer on success, not deducted from your compensation. This is one of the most important and least-understood aspects of the NSW scheme.
In CTP claims under the Motor Accidents Injuries Act 2017, statutory benefit proceedings carry regulated cost scales set by SIRA. In icare disputes under the Workers Compensation Act 1987, SIRA similarly regulates costs in many proceedings. For common law damages claims — including Work Injury Damages (WID), which requires 15% Whole Person Impairment — costs are agreed or assessed at the end of the matter. We explain exactly which rules apply to your claim before you sign anything.
How Are AMK's Fees Lower Than The Big Firms?
We're a boutique team focused only on compensation law — no franchise overheads, no TV advertising budgets baked into your bill, no juniors learning on your file. Streamlined claims cost less to run, and that difference lands in your pocket.
Lower fees with senior attention isn't a contradiction; it's the point of staying small. See why clients choose us for the full picture.
What Are Uplift Fees — And Why Don't We Charge Them?
An uplift fee is a success premium added on top of normal fees that many firms charge for taking the 'risk' of No Win, No Fee. In NSW, the Legal Profession Uniform Law caps uplift fees in personal injury matters at 25% of professional costs. We don't charge uplift fees at all, and we don't charge interest on outlays either.
The risk argument rings hollow when claims are properly assessed before they're taken on. We'd rather win you more and keep the arrangement clean: one transparent Cost Agreement, in plain English, before anything starts.
Frequently Asked Questions.
Is the first consultation really free?
Yes — completely. We'll assess your NSW claim, explain your rights and time limits under NSW law, and give you a realistic view of prospects and value. No obligation, no pressure to proceed, no invoice.
What NSW claims are covered by No Win No Fee?
Every compensation claim we run in NSW: CTP claims under the Motor Accidents Injuries Act 2017, icare and Work Injury Damages claims under the Workers Compensation Act 1987, public liability and slip and fall under the Civil Liability Act 2002, medical negligence, institutional abuse, and TPD/superannuation claims.
Who pays the other side's costs if I lose in court?
Adverse costs are only a live risk if a claim goes to court and fails — which is rare, because the pre-court process resolves most NSW claims and we don't run claims to trial that shouldn't go there. We explain this risk frankly, in writing, before any proceedings start.
Are costs regulated for NSW CTP and icare claims?
Yes. SIRA regulates costs in CTP statutory benefit proceedings under the Motor Accidents Injuries Act 2017 and icare disputes under the Workers Compensation Act 1987. In many statutory benefit matters, costs are paid by the insurer on success — not deducted from your compensation. This is one of the most important aspects of the NSW scheme that many claimants don't know about.
Can I switch to AMK from another No Win No Fee firm?
Yes — clients change lawyers more often than you'd think, usually over communication or fee concerns. We'll review your existing cost agreement under the Legal Profession Uniform Law (NSW) for free and explain exactly how a transfer works before you decide.
How do I know what I'll actually receive in the end?
Before you accept any settlement, we give you a written breakdown: gross settlement, refunds, outlays, fees, and the net amount in your hand. You approve the settlement knowing the real number — never after the fact.
