Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is a crucial document for clients seeking legal representation, especially in cases such as wrongful termination claims. This agreement outlines the terms of employment between the client and the attorneys, including the percentage of fees based on the recovery amount, which is contingent on the outcome of the case. Key features include stipulations on attorneys' fees, advanced costs, the employment of expert witnesses, and the attorneys' lien on any settlement or judgment amounts. Clients are also informed about their obligations, such as paying for costs incurred by attorneys and the implications of settling a claim without attorney consent. Specifically for attorneys, partners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, this document offers essential guidelines for retaining clients and clarifying the financial arrangements involved in pursuing legal claims. Additionally, it underscores the rights of attorneys in case of discharge or withdrawal and emphasizes the importance of written modifications to the agreement, ensuring clear communication and mutual understanding.
