Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms under which a client retains attorneys to pursue a wrongful termination claim. A key feature of this document is its specification of the contingency fee structure, wherein the attorneys receive a percentage of the net recovery based on the resolution method—whether settled out of court, resolved through trial, or following an appeal. Additionally, it clarifies that clients are responsible for reasonable costs and expenses incurred during the legal process. Attorneys are granted a lien on any amounts recovered, securing their fees and advances. The document also allows for the potential employment of expert witnesses and associate counsel at the attorneys' discretion. This form is a crucial tool for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, offering guidance on the fee arrangement and legal representation specifics. It serves to educate clients on their obligations and the terms of engagement while providing a clear framework for legal professionals to operate within when representing clients.
