Lawyers outside the US generally get paid for the hours they use on a case, not for a cut of the clients award. You then rely on the lawyers professional ethics for him/her to do the best possible job. It seems to work fine in most cases. I know US lawyers have a bad reputation, but still this fear of lawyers ignoring their clients interests seems a little exaggerated.
Personally I find the whole idea that a lawyer should get a cut of his clients compensation unethical. Its money rewarded to the victim, not for his or her lawyer.
