Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms under which a client retains legal representation for a wrongful termination claim. This form details the fee structure, stating that clients will pay a percentage of the net recovery based on whether a settlement occurs out of court, through trial, or after an appeal. It specifies that all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the attorney will be the client's responsibility and may be invoiced periodically. The agreement grants attorneys a lien on any recovery to secure their fees and expenses. It also allows for the hiring of expert witnesses and associate counsel, with associated fees covered by the client. Importantly, the document clarifies the attorneys' rights to fees even if the client opts to discharge them before resolution. Additionally, it empowers attorneys to act on the client's behalf for necessary legal filings. The usefulness of this form extends to various legal professionals, including attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, as it serves to standardize expectations regarding payment structures and responsibilities, streamlining the legal process for all parties involved.
