Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement Sample with Attorney Fees in Middlesex is a legal document designed to outline the terms of employment between a client and their attorneys. This agreement allows clients to retain attorneys for cases related to wrongful termination, specifying the attorneys' rights to fees based on the recovery outcomes. Key features include a detailed breakdown of attorney fees—expressed as a percentage of the net recovery for various resolutions of the case, including out-of-court settlement and trial. The document states that clients are responsible for any reasonable costs and expenses incurred, which need to be addressed periodically. Attorneys are granted a lien on any recovered amounts, ensuring their fees are recouped from settlements or judgments. It also delineates protocols for hiring additional expert witnesses and associate counsel, with clear instructions on liability for costs. The agreement provides terms for discharge or withdrawal of attorneys and emphasizes that the attorneys do not guarantee a favorable outcome. This form is useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants in managing client engagements involving contingency fees, enhancing transparency in client-attorney financial arrangements.
