Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the structure of attorney fees for clients in Georgia, focusing on contingency rates related to wrongful termination claims. Clients agree to pay a percentage of their net recovery based on the outcome: a specified percentage if settled out of court, a different percentage if resolved at trial, and yet another if there is an appeal. Additionally, clients must cover reasonable costs and expenses incurred by their attorneys, which may be billed periodically. The form offers reassurance that attorneys may employ experts and associate counsel while maintaining a lien on any recovery for their fees and costs. For the target audience—attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants—this agreement serves as a professional and structured approach to managing client relationships and financial expectations. The clear organization helps facilitate effective communication with clients who may have little legal experience, ensuring that all parties understand their obligations and rights under the agreement.
