No Win, No Fee: Help Is at Hand and Costs Less Than You Think

Facing employment issues can feel overwhelming.  Suddenly you’re dealing with disciplinary hearings, unfair dismissal, redundancy worries, or workplace bullying. The last thing you need is anxiety over legal fees. That’s why Mathews Walker champions a No Win, No Fee approach, so you can get expert support without the financial stress.

What Does “No Win, No Fee” Mean?

Mathews Walker’s No Win, No Fee policy is simple and fair.  We don’t charge you hourly as we work on your case.  Instead, the fee is only a portion (about one‑third + GST) of what we recover for you. That means if we help secure a settlement, compensation, or exit package, we deduct our fee from that outcome.  If there’s no win, you don’t pay. There are no fees if we don’t achieve a financial outcome for you.  This structure removes financial risk and encourages you to seek help early.

What Does This Mean for You?

Zero upfront cost.  You won’t be paying while your case is being built, even if it takes many hours.

Aligned interests.  Your advocate only gets paid if you do. They’re fully motivated to fight for the best result.

Transparent terms.  You’ll know exactly what costs and fees are involved, including any minor fixed charges (like filing in the ERA).

Peace of mind.  No surprise bills - just dedicated advocacy working toward your win.

There are exceptions: some matters won’t qualify for No Win, No Fee, such as notice period negotiations, disciplinary representation, or other cases where no financial outcome is being sought.  However, the team is upfront about this so you always know what to expect.

Mathews Walker has helped over 3,500 employees nationwide (from Auckland to Invercargill, Wellington to Christchurch) navigate high‑stakes employment issues from unfair dismissals and constructive dismissal to workplace bullying and redundancy. Our transparent No Win, No Fee offer makes that expert support accessible when you need it most.  No Win, No Fee is Ideal if you’re facing loss of income, bullying, or unfair treatment or you need strong negotiation or representation but can’t afford hourly legal bills now.

No Win, No Fee isn’t just a catchy phrase, it’s a promise of no upfront costs, no surprise bills and full motivation to secure your best outcome.   If you’re up against unfair dismissal, redundancy, workplace bullying, or any employment dispute, help is at hand and it costs less than you think.
