Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm serves as a formal contract between a client and their attorney, specifically addressing the conditions under which legal services are provided on a contingency basis. The document outlines the attorney's responsibilities in prosecuting a claim, particularly for wrongful termination, and specifies the percentage of net recovery that will be paid as attorney fees depending on whether the matter is settled out of court or requires a trial or appeal. It details the costs and expenses the client is responsible for, along with provisions for the employment of experts and associate counsel. Furthermore, the agreement grants attorneys a lien on any settlements or judgments received, ensuring their fees are secured. It emphasizes that attorneys do not guarantee a successful outcome, while also giving them the authority to execute necessary legal documents on behalf of the client. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who need a structured approach to contingent fee arrangements, ensuring clarity on financial obligations and legal permissions involved in representing a client.
