Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms under which a client retains the services of attorneys for legal representation, specifically in claims of wrongful termination. This form details the fee structure, which varies based on whether the case is settled pre-trial, resolved during a trial, or appeals to the Supreme Court. It emphasizes that the client is responsible for covering reasonable costs associated with the case, as outlined in section III. Notably, attorneys are granted a lien on any recovery amount, ensuring they receive their fees before any disbursement to the client. Provisions for hiring expert witnesses and associate counsel are included, providing attorneys the discretion to enhance case support. Additionally, if the client settles without attorney consent, they must still pay the agreed fees. The agreement stipulates that attorneys make no guarantees regarding outcomes, underscoring the inherent risks in legal proceedings. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, and legal support staff in structuring client agreements, navigating fee arrangements, and securing necessary resources for effective legal representation.
