Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms under which clients can hire attorneys on a contingency fee basis in Nevada. This form specifies that the client will pay a percentage of their net recovery as attorney fees, with varying rates depending on whether the case is settled, resolved at trial, or appealed. The agreement clarifies that clients are responsible for reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the attorneys, which can include deposition costs and expert witness fees. Attorneys are granted a lien on any recovery, ensuring they are compensated for their services and expenses. The agreement also allows attorneys to employ expert witnesses and associate counsel as needed, while preserving their right to withdraw from representation under certain conditions. Importantly, clients must pay attorney fees even if they settle their claim independently, and attorneys do not guarantee a favorable outcome. This form is especially useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it provides a clear framework for compensation and responsibilities, ensuring all parties understand their rights and obligations throughout the legal process.
