No Win, No Fee
At Mathews Walker, we understand that in trying financial times it can be hard to pay an hourly rate for employment advice. But your finances shouldn't be a barrier to getting justice if you have been treated unfairly, especially if you have been left without income because of your employer's actions!
This is why our advocates are proud to work on most cases on a "no win, no fee" basis.
What does "no win, no fee" mean?
If we take your case on a "no win, no fee" basis, our fee comes out of whatever we can achieve for you. This is also known as a contingency basis.
This means that you don't need to pay our hourly rate as we go along and, whether we work ten hours or 50 hours, your fee is 1/3 + GST of what we achieve for you. This way, there is no financial risk for you as you explore options to resolve your employment problem.
Note: sometimes there are fixed fees such as filing in the ERA, but this will all be explained in our terms and conditions

When do we charge a fee?
Some cases aren't suitable for a no win, no fee situation, as we aren't seeking a financial outcome for you. We'll always let you know if this is the case though so you can make an informed decision before incurring any charges.
Some examples of hourly rate work could include:
-
Reviewing an employment agreement, for instance a restraint of trade clause;
-
Negotiating a shortened notice period or for you to work from home;
-
Representing you in a disciplinary meeting
