Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms under which a client engages an attorney to handle a wrongful termination claim. It specifies the attorney's fees as a percentage of the net recovery, dependent on whether the case settles out of court, is resolved at trial, or involves an appeal. The agreement mandates that reasonable costs, such as expert witness fees or other disbursements, are to be reimbursed by the client, with attorneys holding a lien on any recovery. This form allows attorneys to hire associate counsel and expert witnesses at their discretion and clarifies the retention of fees even if the client discharges the attorneys before resolution. Moreover, it states that no guarantees of a successful outcome are provided, ensuring clients are aware that attorneys cannot promise favorable results. The agreement is governed by state law and requires written modifications to be valid. Attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants can utilize this form to facilitate clear expectations and responsibilities in cases involving contingency fees, making it an indispensable tool in legal practice.
