Contingency and success fees in Germany
8 hand-verified firms that list Germany say on their own website that they offer contingency or success fees. The lawyer is paid a share of what you recover, or a fee that is due only if the case succeeds (including CFAs, DBAs, cuota litis and Erfolgshonorar).
- Fees in Germany
- Lawyers' fees are largely governed by a statutory fee scale (RVG). Success-fee agreements are restricted; a 2021 reform widened the exceptions (for example for smaller monetary claims), but pure contingency remains the exception rather than the rule.
- Litigation funding in Germany
- Commercial litigation funding (Prozessfinanzierung) is well established and commonly takes a share of the proceeds. Legal-expenses insurance is also widespread.
- Case types these firms take
- Class action (4), Consumer claim (4), Contract dispute (3), Fraud (2), Investment fraud (2), Crypto fraud (1), Partnership dispute (1)
