Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms under which a client engages attorneys to pursue a legal claim, specifically wrongful termination in Illinois. This agreement states that the attorneys will receive a percentage of any net recovery, with varying fees based on whether the case is settled out of court, resolved at trial, or involves an appeal. It highlights the client's obligation to cover reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the attorneys during the representation. The agreement includes provisions for the attorneys' lien on any recovered funds and allows for the employment of expert witnesses or associate counsel as needed. Clients should be aware that attorneys make no guarantees about the outcome of the case. The document also details conditions for discharging the attorneys and the obligations that arise if the client settles without their consent. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it provides a clear framework for fee arrangement and client responsibilities, ensuring effective legal representation while minimizing disputes over compensation.
