No Win - No Fee ™ lawyers Slater & Gordon believe that every Australian has the right to legal representation no matter what their financial circumstances.

Slater & Gordon's innovative No Win - No Fee ™ arrangement is designed with exactly that purpose in mind. Introduced to Victorians in 1994, No Win - No Fee™ was created in direct response to growing community concern that access to legal justice was beyond the reach of many and increasingly restricted to those with the financial resources to pay for it. No Win - No Fee ™ has meant that many Australians whose financial situation would otherwise deny them legal representation are now able to access the legal system.
