Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement is a legal document designed for consultants in Ohio, outlining the terms between the client and attorneys regarding fee arrangements based on the outcome of a case. This form establishes that the client will pay a percentage of the net recovery as attorney fees, differing based on whether a case is settled out of court or resolved through trial or appeal. It specifies provisions about costs and expenses that may be advanced by attorneys, as well as their right to a lien on any recovery. The agreement allows attorneys to employ expert witnesses and associate counsel as needed, with fees to be covered by the client. The attorneys also have the right to withdraw from the case under certain conditions, while ensuring they are entitled to compensation for advanced costs. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, guiding them in structuring fee agreements that align with client expectations and legal standards. It ensures all parties understand their responsibilities and rights throughout the process, fostering clarity and trust in the attorney-client relationship.
