The Contingency Fee Agreement Form with Attorney in Minnesota outlines the terms of employment between a client and their attorney, specifically regarding legal claims such as wrongful termination. The form emphasizes that the attorney's fees will be a percentage of the net recovery, which varies depending on whether the case is settled out of court, goes to trial, or requires an appeal. Clients are also responsible for reimbursing reasonable costs incurred by the attorney, such as expert witness fees and travel expenses.

This form serves as a critical tool for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants in preparing and managing client cases effectively in adherence to legal standards.
