Description
The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms under which an attorney agrees to represent a client in legal matters, particularly in claims of wrongful termination. This agreement specifies that the client will compensate the attorney based on a percentage of the net recovery, varying depending on whether the case is settled prior to trial, resolved by trial, or if an appeal occurs. Key features include provisions for reasonable costs and expenses to be paid by the client, the right for attorneys to employ expert witnesses, and the retention of lawyers' fees from any settlements or judgments. Importantly, the contract states that attorneys are entitled to their fee even if the client discharges them before resolution and clarifies that attorneys make no guarantees about the outcome of the legal process. This agreement is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants in understanding their rights and obligations in contingency fee arrangements, offering a clear framework to navigate client relationships and financial expectations. It also enables legal professionals to manage client risks and ensure compliance with state laws governing such agreements.
