Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms under which a client hires attorneys to pursue claims, particularly wrongful termination cases. It specifies the fee structure, which includes percentages of net recovery based on various outcomes, such as trials or settlements. The agreement also addresses costs and expenses that the client must pay, as well as provisions for attorney liens on any recoveries. Attorneys are authorized to employ experts and associate counsel as needed, with costs borne by the client. Importantly, the agreement clarifies that attorneys retain their fees even if their services are terminated prior to settlement. It serves as a critical tool for clients to understand their financial obligations and the rights of the attorneys during the claim process. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who engage in litigation and need a structured agreement to manage client expectations and legal fees effectively.
