Description
The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the legal representation terms between a client and their attorney for claims, such as wrongful termination. This agreement specifies the attorney's fees, calculated as a percentage of the net recovery depending on how the matter is resolved—either through settlement, trial, or appeal. It addresses the reimbursement of costs incurred in pursuing the claim, including expenses like expert witness fees and travel costs. The form also grants the attorneys a lien on any recovery, ensuring they are compensated for their services before the client receives any funds. It allows attorneys to engage associate counsel and experts, further supporting the case. This agreement emphasizes the lack of guarantees for a favorable outcome and requires the client to cover fees even if they settle without the attorney's consent. For the target audience of attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, this form serves as a vital tool, providing clarity on fee structures and procedural guidelines essential for effectively managing client relationships and expectations.
