Description
The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm establishes the terms between the client and attorneys for legal representation in pursuing claims, such as wrongful termination. Key features include the specification of attorney fees based on percentages of net recovery, which vary depending on whether the case is settled out of court, after trial, or post-appeal. Clients are responsible for reasonable costs and expenses incurred by attorneys, and a lien is placed on any recovery for the attorney's fees and costs advanced. The agreement allows attorneys discretion to engage expert witnesses and associate counsel. It emphasizes that attorneys will retain their fees even if discharged before a settlement, and clients are obligated to pay fees if they settle without attorney consent. Notably, outcomes are not guaranteed, and attorneys are granted power of attorney to execute necessary legal documents. This document is beneficial for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it provides a clear structure for fee agreements and outlines the respective responsibilities of both parties, ensuring mutual understanding and compliance throughout the legal process.
