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.

FAQ

In Arizona, A.R.S. § 12.341. 01 provides that the prevailing party in a lawsuit may recover its attorney's fees in any action arising out of a contract.

12-341.01 - Recovery of attorney fees. A. In any contested action arising out of a contract, express or implied, the court may award the successful party reasonable attorney fees.

In Arizona, usually a person is entitled to recover attorney's fees from an adverse, opposing or other party ONLY where there is a contract which entitles you to recover attorney's fees OR there is a statute (law) which entitles you to recover attorney's fees.

Contingent means that an event may or may not occur in the future, depending on the fulfillment of some condition that is uncertain. This term is often used in contracts where the event will not take effect until the specified condition occurs.

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.
