Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is a legal document designed for clients engaging attorneys for representation in specific claims, such as wrongful termination. This agreement outlines the terms under which attorneys will be compensated, predominantly through a percentage of any net recovery achieved on behalf of the client. Key features include detailed stipulations on attorney fees, which vary based on whether the case settles out of court, goes to trial, or undergoes an appeal. The document specifies that clients are responsible for additional costs and expenses incurred during representation, which can be billed periodically. Furthermore, it provides for attorneys’ liens on any settlements, ensuring they receive their fees from recovered amounts. It allows attorneys the discretion to employ expert witnesses or associate counsel, further enhancing client representation capabilities. The form also highlights the ramifications if the client settles without attorney approval, including fee obligations. This agreement is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who need a clear structure for client representation in contingency arrangements. It offers a sound framework for ensuring all parties understand their rights and responsibilities throughout the legal process.
