Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is designed for clients who wish to retain legal representation on a contingency fee basis, particularly in cases such as wrongful termination. This agreement outlines the retention of attorneys, specifying their fee structure which is contingent upon the success of the client's claims. Attorneys may charge different percentages based on whether the matter is settled out of court or requires trial and appeals. The form also addresses costs and expenses that may be incurred during representation, stipulating that these will be paid by the client on a specified schedule. Additionally, it grants attorneys a lien on any settlement or recovery for their fees and costs advanced. It covers the employment of expert witnesses and the possibility of engaging associate counsel. This agreement also includes provisions for withdrawal by attorneys, and client-initiated settlement actions without attorney consent, ensuring both parties understand their rights and responsibilities. For the target audience, including attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, this form serves as a critical tool for managing client relationships and ensuring transparent fee arrangements while effectively navigating complex legal claims.
