No Win No Fee CFA

Hi all,
I'm currently in the process of making a negligence claim relating to the death of my father. Two solicitors have advised me that we have a good case and are willing to take it on on a no win no fee basis. This arrangement is suitable to us as we certainly couldn't afford to do so otherwise.
One solicitor wants us to sign a CFA immediately, the other wants to obtain medical evidence first and assess it, and then have us sign a CFA.
I'm just wondering if anyone with experience finds either way problematic? As in should it be done one way or not the other? I'm a bit confused on the discrepancy here.
Thanks for any advice,
Richard.

If neither have seen any medical evidence I can’t see how they would be so sure you have a good case.0
