Contingency arrangements exist in some forums for some claim types. Cross-border fraud recovery still often involves investigators, foreign counsel and court fees that are not free.
Ask what costs you remain responsible for if the case fails. Confirm whether contingency applies only to one jurisdiction’s lawsuit while enforcement elsewhere is hourly.
Guaranteed recovery paired with contingency marketing is a red flag. Outcomes cannot be guaranteed regardless of fee structure.
Get fee terms in writing and verify the lawyers’ licensing. Fee mythology is a common hook for non-lawyer recovery operators.
