Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms under which a client retains legal representation for prosecuting a claim, specifically focusing on wrongful termination cases. This agreement details the percentages of recovery the attorney will receive, based on outcomes such as settlement or trial resolution, emphasizing transparency in fee structure. Additionally, the document addresses the allocation of costs and expenses, advising clients that they may incur obligations for advances made by the attorneys for necessary disbursements. Attorneys are granted a lien on any recovery from the claim to secure their fees and costs. The agreement also permits attorneys to employ expert witnesses at the client's expense and specifies conditions for withdrawal or discharge of attorneys while retaining the right to fees. Importantly, the attorneys do not guarantee a favorable outcome, reflecting the uncertainties inherent in legal proceedings. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, providing a structured approach to contingency fee arrangements while ensuring all parties understand their rights and obligations.
