Description

The Contingent Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms under which a client retains legal representation for claims, particularly regarding wrongful termination. This agreement specifies the attorneys' fees based on the net recovery percentage, varying if the case is settled out of court, resolved during trial, or requires an appeal. It includes details on the costs and expenses incurred by the attorneys, which the client is responsible for reimbursing, as well as the attorneys' lien on any recovery. Attorneys have discretion in employing experts or associate counsel at their expense, while the client is obligated to pay for any expert fees. Moreover, the agreement allows for attorneys to withdraw under specific conditions and addresses the scenario of the client settling without attorney consent. The document also includes provisions for notices, governing law, and modification of the agreement. This form serves as a crucial tool for attorneys, partners, and legal assistants in managing contingent fee arrangements efficiently and ensuring clear communication with clients.
