Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm in Clark establishes a contractual relationship between the client and the attorneys for the prosecution of a wrongful termination claim. Key features include the delineation of attorney fees based on the recovery amount and the manner of resolution, whether through settlement or trial. The agreement allows attorneys to incur necessary costs and expenses, which the client must reimburse, along with outlining their rights to a lien on any recovery. Attorneys retain discretion to engage expert witnesses and associate counsel at their own expense, with all fees to be covered by the client. It clarifies the conditions under which attorneys can withdraw from representation and the client's obligations should they decide to settle independently. The document emphasizes that attorneys do not guarantee a favorable outcome and grants them power of attorney to execute necessary documents related to the case. This agreement is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it provides a structured framework for compensation and responsibilities, ensuring clear communication and understanding of roles in the case.
