Re: No win no fee legal advice
A "No win no fee" agreement with a lawyer is forbidden in Switzerland. It's only allowed to offer a "percentage of recovered funds" as a bonus, but not to the exclusion of the lawyer's regular fees.
This rule has some negative facets, i.e. valid cases not brought for fear of the costs, but on the positive side it does suppress a lot of spurious cases and keeps the legal system free of ambulance chasers.
