Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is designed for clients who engage legal counsel to pursue a claim, primarily in Nassau, under a contingent fee arrangement. The form outlines the expectations of both the client and attorney regarding fees, which are based on a percentage of the recovery achieved through settlement or trial. Specific sections detail the attorney's fees for various outcomes, including out-of-court settlements and trials, along with the processes for covering costs and expenses related to the legal services. The agreement grants attorneys the right to liens against recovered amounts and permits them to hire experts and associate counsel as necessary for the client's case. Attorneys also retain rights in instances where clients settle claims without them and specify that successful outcomes are not guaranteed. The form is particularly useful for legal professionals, including attorneys and paralegals, as it establishes a clear framework for compensating legal services while protecting both parties' rights and responsibilities. Completing this form helps ensure that all parties understand their obligations, making it a valuable resource for legal assistants and associates involved in client representation.
