Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement outlines the relationship between a client and their attorneys regarding representation in legal matters, specifically relating to claims of wrongful termination. Key features include the stipulation of attorney fees as a percentage of net recovery, which varies depending on whether the case is settled without trial or taken to court. The document also addresses costs incurred by attorneys, which the client will be responsible for covering on a regular basis. An attorneys' lien is established to secure payment for their services from any recovered settlement or judgment. The agreement allows attorneys to hire experts and associate counsel at their discretion, with costs to be borne by the client. Importantly, the attorneys' fees are preserved even if the client discharges them before the case concludes. This agreement is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it clarifies the financial arrangements ahead of time, reducing potential disputes and ensuring a clear understanding of roles and responsibilities.
