Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is a legal document that outlines the terms of engagement between a client and their attorney regarding representation in a wrongful termination claim. This form is particularly useful for clients seeking legal representation without upfront costs, as attorneys are paid a percentage of any settlement or recovery. Key features include detailed sections on attorney fees based on the outcome of the case, the responsibilities for advancing costs, and the legal implications of settling without attorney consent. The form also grants attorneys a lien on the recovery amount, allowing them to retain their fee directly from any settlement. The agreement allows attorneys to hire experts and associate counsel, which can enhance the client's case. It also specifies the procedures for withdrawal of attorneys and the power of attorney granted to them for executing necessary documents. Target audience members, such as attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, can utilize this comprehensive template to ensure clarity in the fee structure and expectations, facilitating smoother communication and understanding of legal engagement.
