Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms under which a client retains legal representation to pursue a wrongful termination claim. This form specifies the attorney's fees based on the outcome of the client's case, with different percentages for out-of-court settlements, trials, and appeals. It details the responsibility of the client to cover reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the attorneys during the representation. The agreement also includes provisions allowing attorneys to secure a lien on any recovered amount and empowers them to employ experts or associate counsel as necessary. Attorneys retain the right to withdraw from the case with reasonable notice, while clients are obligated to pay fees if they settle independently. Importantly, attorneys do not guarantee a favorable outcome for the client. The legal terms contained within the document ensure both parties understand their rights and obligations, operating within Allegheny law. This form is crucial for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it clarifies the legal fees structure and client obligations, ensuring a transparent lawyer-client relationship.
