Description
The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms under which a client hires an attorney to handle a wrongful termination claim. Key features include the percentage of the net recovery that will constitute attorney fees, which varies based on whether the case is settled out of court, resolved at trial, or appeals to the Supreme Court. The document specifies that clients are responsible for reasonable costs incurred by attorneys, which are to be paid on a recurring basis. It also establishes attorneys' lien rights to ensure they are compensated for their fees and advanced costs from any recovery. The agreement grants attorneys the power to employ experts and associate counsel at their discretion, while clarifying conditions surrounding attorney withdrawal and client settlements made without attorneys’ consent. This document is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants navigating personal injury or wrongful termination cases, as it provides standardized terms and expectations for representation and compensation, helping them manage client relationships and financial arrangements effectively.
