Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms between a client and their attorney regarding representation in wrongful termination claims. This agreement emphasizes key features such as the attorney's fees, which vary depending on whether the case is settled out of court, goes to trial, or requires an appeal. It also details the client's responsibility for costs and expenses incurred by the attorney, including expert witness fees and travel costs, which will be billed periodically. Additionally, the agreement grants the attorney a lien on any recovery, ensuring that they are compensated for their work. Important provisions include the ability for attorneys to withdraw from representation—while retaining rights to reimbursement—and the stipulation that discharging an attorney does not absolve the client of fee obligations. The document also allows attorneys to execute necessary legal documents on behalf of the client. This agreement serves as a critical framework for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, enabling them to navigate contingency arrangements effectively and secure fair compensation for legal services rendered.
