Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the financial arrangement between a Client and their Attorneys for legal representation in wrongful termination claims. This form establishes that attorneys will receive a percentage of the net recovery, which varies depending on whether the case is settled out of court, resolved at trial, or requires an appeal. Additionally, the document specifies that clients will cover reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the attorneys, such as court fees and expert witness charges, at agreed intervals. It empowers attorneys to act on behalf of the client, including executing necessary documents. The agreement provisions also cover attorneys' rights to liens on settlements, terms regarding employment of expert witnesses and associate counsel, and stipulate their entitlement to fees even if the client discharges them or settles without consent. The form is useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, as it provides a clear framework for establishing fees and responsibilities in contingency fee arrangements, ensuring that all parties are aware of their rights and obligations.

Anyone tracking estimates and costs manually will calculate a contingency percentage on top of all costs before profit margins are applied.

The most basic way to calculate a contingency reserve is to add a fixed percentage to the total project budget, known as the Flat Rate method. Alternatively, if different percentages are applied to unique budget line items, this would be called a Mixed Rate method to establish the reserve.
