Are contingency fees legal in Australia?

Not as a percentage, with one exception. Australian lawyers generally may not charge a share of the damages, but conditional no win, no fee agreements with an uplift of up to 25% of the legal costs are allowed. Since 2020, Victoria's Supreme Court can make group costs orders in class actions that set a percentage fee.
