Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is a legal contract utilized by clients in Alameda to outline the terms of representation and payment for legal services, particularly in cases of wrongful termination. Key features of the agreement include the specification of attorney fees, which are a percentage of the client's net recovery, determined by whether the claim is settled out of court, resolved in trial, or via an appeal. The form also covers costs and expenses incurred by attorneys, the employment of experts, and the attorneys' lien on any recovery amount. It ensures that attorneys are compensated even if the client terminates their services before reaching a settlement. Attorneys must provide clear notification if they choose to withdraw from a case, and the agreement stipulates that clients must compensate attorneys for any fees if they settle a claim without their consent. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants in establishing clear financial understanding and responsibilities in client representation. It serves to protect both parties by clarifying obligations and limiting potential disputes.
