Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms under which clients can engage attorneys in Massachusetts, specifically regarding contingency fees for claims such as wrongful termination. Key features include the percentage of net recovery the attorneys will receive based on different outcomes: a settlement out of court, trial, or post-appeal resolution. Clients are also informed about costs and disbursements, which they must cover on a regular basis. The agreement grants attorneys a lien on any recovery for their fees and any advanced costs. It also allows attorneys to employ expert witnesses and associate counsel at their discretion, with expenses to be reimbursed by the client. The document emphasizes that attorneys do not guarantee a favorable outcome and outlines the procedure for client settlement without attorney consent, which necessitates fee payment based on the agreement terms. Additionally, it gives attorneys the power of attorney to execute necessary documents for the claim. This form is useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, providing a clear framework for client representation while ensuring all parties understand their rights and obligations.
