Our Fees

No Win, No Fee

Carson & Co Compensation Law offers to act for our clients on a ‘No Win, No Fee’ basis to ensures that all our clients can access legal representation regardless of their financial situation. This means that Carson & Co Compensation Law will only charge professional fees if your claim is successful.

The conditions of our ‘No Win, No Fee’ arrangement are detailed in our Legal Cost Agreement and Disclosure Notice, which you will need to sign before we can act on your behalf.

We beat the 50/50 rule

The 50/50 rule is a regulation in Queensland’s that limits the amount personal injury lawyers can charge.

It guarantees that clients receive at least 50% of the net settlement or judgement sum (after deducting refunds and outlays).

At Carson & Co Compensation Law we believe that you should get more. We will never charge you professional fees that are more than 35% of the settlement or judgement.

No 25% Uplift

Many Queensland personal injury law firms charge uplift fees in “no win, no fee” type agreements.

Queensland legislation does allow law firms to charge an uplift fee of up to 25% on client agreements. The idea of the uplift fee is to recognise that there is some risk in the lawyer taking on the matter in terms of it possibly not succeeding and the amount of time it may take for them to be paid.

Carson & Co Compensation Law does not charge an uplift fee.
