JuriMatch, claims management companies and lawyers: the differences
A claims management company handles a claim for you, usually for a share of the compensation, but is not a law firm. A lawyer can advise you and go to court. JuriMatch is neither: it is a directory and search engine that helps you find lawyers and funders, and does not take a share of your compensation.
Frequently asked questions
Is JuriMatch a claims management company?
No. JuriMatch does not handle claims and does not take a share of compensation. It is a directory and search engine that helps you find no-win-no-fee lawyers and litigation funders, plus free guides and tools.
Can I make a claim without a claims management company?
Often yes. Flight compensation, many consumer complaints and complaints about financial services can be made directly to the company and then to an ombudsman or alternative dispute resolution body, free of charge.
Who regulates claims management companies?
In Great Britain, the Financial Conduct Authority has regulated claims management activity since 1 April 2019. Rules differ in other countries, and in many there is no specific regulator for claims companies.
