Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms under which a client engages attorneys on a contingency basis for legal representation in a wrongful termination claim. Key features of this form include the specification of attorney fees, computed as a percentage of the net recovery based on whether the matter is settled out of court, resolved by trial, or followed by an appeal. It clearly delineates the responsibilities regarding costs and expenses, allowing attorneys to advance certain costs, which will be reimbursed by the client. The agreement grants attorneys a lien on any recovery to ensure payment for services rendered. It also encompasses provisions for employing experts and associate counsel, and the conditions under which attorneys may withdraw from a case. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants involved in personal injury or employment law as it provides a structured approach to client engagement on a contingency basis and assists in managing expectations regarding fees and outcomes.
