Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement is a legally binding document made between a client and attorneys, detailing the terms of employment for legal representation, particularly in wrongful termination claims. This agreement specifies the percentage of net recovery the attorneys will receive as fees depending on whether the claim is settled out of court, resolved by trial, or during an appeal. It also outlines responsibilities for costs and expenses incurred in the process, which are paid by the client on a specified basis, including disbursements and expert witness fees. The agreement provides for attorneys’ liens on any recovery for their fees and establishes that attorneys retain their fee rights even if a client discharges them prior to settlement. It allows for attorneys to employ associate counsel or experts as necessary, with their fees covered by the client. Clients must be aware that attorneys offer no guarantees of a favorable outcome in the legal action. This form is invaluable for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it formalizes the attorney-client relationship and clarifies financial expectations, ensuring that all parties understand their rights and obligations.
