Description

The Contingent Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms under which a client engages attorneys to represent them in a claim, particularly for wrongful termination. This form specifies the percentage fees attorneys will receive based on the outcome of the case, whether settled out of court, resolved by trial, or following an appeal. The document also addresses costs incurred by attorneys, such as travel and expert witness fees, that are to be reimbursed by the client. Additionally, it grants attorneys a lien on any recovery amount, ensuring they receive their fees before the client. The agreement allows for the employment of associate counsel and expert witnesses at the attorneys' discretion. It includes provisions for the withdrawal of attorneys and responsibilities of the client should they settle without the attorneys' consent. The form is governed by the laws of the state specified in the agreement and mandates that any amendments be in writing. This agreement is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it clarifies payment structures, expected costs, and the legal rights of both parties throughout the representation process.
