Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is a legal document that outlines the terms under which a client hires an attorney to pursue a wrongful termination claim. It establishes the attorney's fees based on a percentage of the net recovery, detailing different fee structures depending on whether the case is settled out of court, resolved through trial, or subject to appeal. The agreement also specifies that the client is responsible for costs and expenses incurred by the attorneys, which will be billed periodically. Additionally, attorneys are granted a lien on any potential recovery, ensuring they are compensated from any settlement or judgment. This agreement enables attorneys to hire experts and associate counsel as necessary for the case. It clarifies the conditions under which attorneys can withdraw from representation or how fees are handled if the client decides to settle without the attorneys' consent. Importantly, attorneys do not guarantee a successful outcome, emphasizing that results cannot be promised. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, and paralegals who manage client agreements, as well as legal assistants aiding in documentation, ensuring that all parties clearly understand their rights and obligations.
