Are contingency fees legal in the Netherlands?

Generally no. The rules of the Netherlands Bar prohibit Dutch lawyers from working on a no cure, no pay basis or for a percentage of the result, with limited exceptions. The success-based risk is usually carried by claims agencies or litigation funders, which are not law firms, while lawyers charge hourly or fixed fees.
