Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms under which a client engages an attorney to represent them in a case, specifically concerning claims of wrongful termination. This agreement details the contingency fee structure, specifying that attorneys will receive a percentage of any recovered amount, contingent upon whether the case is settled before trial, resolved in court, or appeals are necessary. Additionally, it addresses the allocation of costs and expenses incurred during representation, including expert witnesses and necessary disbursements, which the client must also pay. The agreement stipulates that attorneys hold a lien on any recovery for their fees and advanced costs until payment is fulfilled. It also covers circumstances regarding the substitution or discharge of attorneys, client settlements made without attorney consent, and provisions for attorney withdrawal. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, and associates involved in legal practice, as it provides a clear structure for fee arrangements and client obligations, ensuring that all parties understand their rights and responsibilities. Legal assistants and paralegals can utilize this form to facilitate the administrative aspects of client representation and billing processes.
