The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is a legal document designed specifically for establishing the terms and conditions under which an attorney will represent a client, particularly in wrongful termination claims in Nevada. This agreement outlines the employment of attorneys, specifying their fees based on the recovery achieved, whether through settlement or trial. Key features include provisions for costs and expenses, the establishment of attorneys' liens on any settlement, and the ability for attorneys to retain fees from any recovered amounts. Fillable sections include the deduction of advanced costs from settlements and clauses covering the potential discharge or withdrawal of attorneys. This form is particularly beneficial for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who need a clear framework for fee arrangements and responsibilities in the pursuit of claims. It serves to protect both client and attorneys by clearly defining compensation structures, the employment of experts, and the expectations regarding legal outcomes, ensuring both parties understand their rights and obligations.
