Description

The Contingency Agreement sample format in King outlines the terms under which a client retains an attorney or law firm to represent them in legal matters, specifically wrongful termination claims. Key features include the percentage of fees based on the outcome of the case, covering both out-of-court settlements and trial resolutions. Clients are responsible for reimbursing attorneys for reasonable costs and expenses incurred during the process. The agreement allows attorneys to employ expert witnesses and associate counsel at their discretion, indicating the flexibility of representation. Importantly, it clarifies that attorneys retain their fees even if a client discharges them before a settlement is reached. Provisions are also made for the withdrawal of attorneys and the consequences of client-initiated settlements without attorney consent. This form is particularly useful for attorneys and legal assistants, as it serves as a standard framework for establishing payment structures and responsibilities in litigation, assisting them in managing client expectations and legal obligations.

In a contingency contract, the task defines exactly what behavior a person must engage in to access the reward. It should include what needs to be done, who must do it, when it must be done and details with how it must be done. It should be very clear and specific for all parties.

Contingency Contract Examples If you fail to secure the financing within the stipulated period, either party may terminate the contract without any legal consequences. Another simple example is a child who agrees with their parent that they would receive a new bicycle if they receive an A in a specific class.

Decide how much, how often, and by whom rewards will be given. Be specific in identifying necessary criteria to obtain a reward. Remember to reward for small approximations when beginning a contingency contract. Include any mild punishment (e.g., loss of a privilege, time-out, etc.)
