Description
The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms between a client and their attorneys regarding the legal representation in cases of wrongful termination. It specifies that the client's payment to the attorneys will be a percentage of the net recovery, noting different rates for settlements, trial resolutions, and appeals. The agreement includes sections on costs and expenses incurred by the attorneys, as well as provisions for employing expert witnesses and associate counsel. It also sets forth the attorneys' lien on any recovery amount and stipulates conditions for withdrawal or discharge of attorneys, asserting their right to fees even if substituted before settlement. Importantly, the agreement clarifies that attorneys do not guarantee a favorable outcome, emphasizing the client's responsibility for attorney fees if they settle the claim without consent. This form is essential for attorneys, partners, and legal assistance personnel, providing a clear structure for establishing contingency fees and outlining their rights and obligations within a legal case.
