Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is a legally binding document used in Arizona that outlines the terms of employment between a client and their attorney for cases such as wrongful termination. This agreement specifies the attorney's fees based on the recovery amount, detailing different percentages for out-of-court settlements, trials, or appeals. Clients are responsible for covering reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the attorneys, which can be billed monthly or quarterly. The agreement includes provisions concerning attorney liens on recoveries, the employment of expert witnesses, and the conditions for discharge or withdrawal of attorneys. Notably, attorneys do not guarantee a favorable outcome, and a power of attorney is given to execute necessary documents. This form serves as a critical tool for attorneys, partners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants by providing clear guidelines and expectations for representation and fees, ensuring all parties understand their rights and responsibilities within the legal process.

Typically, most construction projects use a contingency rate of 5% to 10% from the total project budget. This is typically enough to cover any unexpected costs that may arise throughout the project.

The average contingency rate falls between 20-40%, with most lawyers charging around 33% to 35% of the total amount recovered in a case. The exact percentage can vary depending on the complexity of the case, the lawyer's experience, and the stage at which the case is resolved.

This contingency is normally calculated as a percentage. If the phase is 100 days of effort, contingency at 20% would be another 20 days. As the project progresses, the level of risk reduces as the requirements and issues become known, so the percentage will be reduced.
