Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines a professional relationship between a client and their attorneys concerning the prosecution of a wrongful termination claim. This agreement specifies the attorney's fees as a percentage of the net recovery, with different rates applied depending on whether the matter is settled out of court, settled after trial, or settled after an appeal. It also details the costs and expenses that may be advanced by the attorneys, which the client will be responsible for. The form grants attorneys a lien on any recovery and allows them to employ experts or associate counsel at their discretion, with costs borne by the client. Importantly, the agreement ensures attorneys receive fees even if the client discharges them before a settlement is reached. It emphasizes that attorneys do not guarantee successful outcomes and outlines the procedures for notice and modification of the agreement. This form is especially useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants involved in handling contingency fee cases, as it provides clear guidelines for fees, responsibilities, and the legal framework for representation.
