Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm provides a framework for legal representation where fees are contingent upon a successful outcome in Nevada. This form outlines the attorney's fee structure based on the recovery percentage, which varies depending on whether the case is settled pre-trial, goes to trial, or involves an appeal. It details the responsibility for costs and expenses related to the case, indicating how these costs will be paid and the conditions around them. The agreement grants attorneys a lien on any recovery to secure their fees and expenses. Legal representation can also include the employment of expert witnesses and associate counsel at the attorney's discretion. Additionally, it addresses withdrawal protocols, compensation in client-initiated settlements, and emphasizes that no outcome is guaranteed. This form is especially useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it helps establish clear expectations and protections for both clients and legal practitioners involved in contingency fee arrangements.
