Description

The Contingency Removal Form is a specific legal document used primarily in the context of attorney-client relationships regarding contingency fee agreements. This form serves two essential functions: first, it outlines the terms and conditions under which an attorney is retained, including the percentages of fees based on case outcomes and the handling of costs incurred during representation. Second, it stipulates the client's responsibilities related to advances and the attorneys' right to retain fees from settlement proceeds. Key features of the form include sections addressing attorney fees, costs, and the circumstances under which the attorney may withdraw. Filling out the form requires clear information about the client, the claim being pursued, and the agreed-upon fee structure. Editing should focus on ensuring accurate descriptions of claims and fee percentages, as these are critical for both parties' understanding and agreement. Specific use cases for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants include utilizing this form to formalize the contingency fee arrangement, ensuring transparency with clients about fee structures, and protecting in-house legal departments by clearly defining the terms of retention. Additionally, this form provides clients with clarity regarding their financial obligations to their legal representation.
