We know that compensation cases can cost a lot of money and that you might not want to take action because of the expense. Here at Soul Legal in Perth, we believe you should go after every genuine claim, no matter what it costs, which is why we keep offering our No Win – No Fee promise.
If you’ve been hurt in an attack or accident because someone else was careless or negligent, you might be able to claim compensation for pain and suffering, lost wages, medical bills, home care costs, and other money you’ve lost.
Under the Workers Compensation & Injury Management Act, if you’ve been injured at work, you have the right to compensation. Soul Legal Lawyers set up this fee system to make sure people like you can fight for your legal rights in personal injury cases. We guarantee that we’ll only charge you if you win your case.
We’ll help with your claim right from the start by putting off our legal fees and costs until we successfully sort out your case. This fee delay will let you relax while our team of skilled lawyers works on your claim. With more than 75 years of legal know-how, our team will make sure you get the compensation you deserve.

How Soul Legal’s No Win No Fee Agreement Actually Works in WA
You pay nothing unless your claim succeeds. Soul Legal covers your legal fees and your disbursements (medical reports, police records, expert assessments) while your case runs. If the claim doesn’t succeed, you don’t owe us for our legal work.
On a successful claim, the insurer pays a contribution toward your legal costs under WA’s party-and-party cost recovery rules. In most of our settled cases, that contribution covers the majority of our fees, and in some, it covers the full amount. The balance, if any, comes from your settlement. We go through exact numbers with you at the first meeting, before you sign anything.
Your first consultation is free and confidential. If you don’t proceed, you pay nothing.
Most Perth firms advertise no win no fee. The differences are in the detail, specifically what happens with disbursements and what “no fee” actually includes. Here is how it works at Soul Legal, without the legal jargon.
Legal fees (our time): You pay $0 while your claim is open. We charge fees only on a successful outcome. Our fees are calculated on the WA Legal Costs Committee scale, not on a percentage of your settlement. WA is one of the few states that still uses a regulated scale rather than letting firms set their own rates or take a percentage cut.
Disbursements (third-party costs): These are costs we pay on your behalf to build your case. They typically include:
At Soul Legal, we carry these costs during the claim. You don’t pay them out of pocket while the case runs. On a successful claim, disbursements are recovered from the insurer or deducted from the settlement – we explain the breakdown before you sign the cost agreement.
The asterisk explained. Our site footer says “excluding disbursements.” In plain language: if a court finds against you (which is rare, because we don’t take cases to trial unless we’re confident), the court could order you to pay the other side’s legal costs. That risk exists in all civil litigation in Australia, regardless of fee arrangement. We discuss this with every client at the first meeting so there are no surprises.
What some other firms do differently. Some WA firms charge disbursements regardless of the outcome. Some charge an “uplift fee” (a premium on top of the scale rate) when a case succeeds. We don’t do either. Ask any firm you’re considering to confirm in writing whether they charge disbursements on an unsuccessful claim and whether they apply an uplift.
Why do lawyers offer a No Win – No Fee agreement?
Before we agree to work on your case, Soul Legal offers a full meeting with you. We use this meeting to work out if your claim can succeed and will only go ahead with legal action if we think your case has a good chance of winning. We won’t waste your time or money if we don’t think you can win. We offer our No Win – No Fee agreement to people who don’t have the money saved up to take legal action.
By offering a No Win – No Fee promise, Soul Legal helps people who wouldn’t normally have enough money to make a claim. Our team of compensation lawyers will get started straight away and work hard to bring you the best result we can.
If you’ve been hurt and want to make a claim but don’t have the money to take legal action, Soul Legal’s No Win – No Fee agreement will help you feel better about it. With Soul Legal personal injury lawyers, paying won’t stop you during the legal process.
We get paid when the case is finished. So, we don’t get paid if you don’t get paid. Please remember that if you lose your case, a court might make you pay the other side’s costs. When working out our fees, we think about several things, including:
Soul Legal has lots of experience helping clients get compensation. Our lawyers are all trained in their special areas, which lets us work out correctly what your chances are of getting compensation. We will be straight and honest about your claim and let you know as quickly as we can. Your free meeting is an easy way to get your claim started.

Step 1: Free first consultation (in person, phone, or video). You tell us what happened. We review the facts and give you an honest assessment of whether you have a viable claim. If you can’t travel because of your injuries, we come to you – Kevin and Rebecca do home and hospital visits across the Perth metro area, from Joondalup to Rockingham and out to Baldivis.
Before the meeting, we send you a secure upload link so you can share any documents you already have (medical records, photos, the police report, your ICWA notice). That way we can review the material ahead of time and give you a more specific answer at the consultation, not a generic one.
Step 2: Cost agreement and case setup. If your claim is viable and you want to proceed, we go through the No Win No Fee cost agreement together. We show you the fee scale, the estimated disbursements for your claim type, and the likely timeline. You sign when you’re comfortable, not before.
Step 3: Evidence gathering and claim lodgement. We collect medical evidence, organise independent assessments, obtain records, and lodge the claim with the relevant body – ICWA for motor vehicle injuries, WorkCover WA for workplace injuries, or the relevant insurer for public liability and other claims.
Step 4: Negotiation or proceedings. Most claims settle through negotiation. Kevin and Rebecca push for the best outcome at the negotiation table first. If the insurer won’t offer a fair amount, we’re prepared to go to court. Kevin has appeared in WorkCover WA, the District Court, the Supreme Court, the Federal Court, and the High Court of Australia. Rebecca has appeared in the Supreme Court (Court of Appeal), the District Court, the Fair Work Commission, the WA Industrial Relations Commission, and the Coroner’s Court.
Step 5: Settlement and costs. When the claim settles, the insurer pays a party-and-party cost contribution toward your legal fees. We deduct any remaining fees and disbursements from the settlement, give you a full written breakdown, and transfer your compensation. For serious-injury claims, this process often takes 12 months or longer because we wait for your injuries to stabilise before settling. Settling too early almost always means settling for less.
