Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is a critical document designed for use in legal engagements, particularly for wrongful termination claims. This form establishes a contractual relationship between the client and the attorney, detailing the scope of employment, attorney fees, costs, and potential expenses involved in litigation. Key features include clear percentages for attorney fees based on recovery outcomes and provisions for advanced costs to be reimbursed by the client. It allows attorneys to employ experts and associate counsel at their discretion, placing the financial responsibility on the client. Furthermore, the agreement ensures that attorneys maintain a lien on any recovery, protecting their fees. It stipulates terms for withdrawal of representation by attorneys and compensation in cases where the client settles without their consent. This form is essential for attorneys, partners, and legal staff involved in personal injury cases, offering guidance on fee arrangements and client obligations, thereby facilitating clearer communication and understanding throughout the legal process.
