Description

The contingency fee agreement sample format in Arizona outlines the terms between a client and their attorney regarding the legal representation in pursuing a claim, such as wrongful termination. It specifies the attorney's fees as a percentage of the net recovery, varying based on whether the case settles out of court, goes to trial, or is appealed. The agreement includes provisions for costs and expenses incurred by the attorneys, emphasizing the client’s responsibility to reimburse these, often on a regular basis. Additionally, it grants attorneys a lien on any recovery, ensuring their fees are secured. The form allows attorneys to hire expert witnesses at the client's expense and emphasizes that attorneys may withdraw at any time with reasonable notice while still retaining rights to fees. This format is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, and paralegals to clearly establish and communicate the financial obligations and rights in the attorney-client relationship, promoting clear expectations. It also helps legal assistants and associates in understanding their duties and the outlines of engagement with clients.
