Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is a legal document used in Ohio that outlines the terms of representation between a client and their attorney, focusing on contingency rules. The agreement specifies that attorneys are retained to represent the client in a claim—typically related to wrongful termination—and outlines the percentage of the net recovery that will be paid as attorney fees based on the outcome. Key provisions include an attorney's lien on any recovery, the employment of experts at the client's expense, and stipulations for withdrawal or discharge of attorneys. Clients are required to pay costs and expenses incurred by the attorney during the representation, and the agreement emphasizes that no outcome is guaranteed. This form is useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it provides a clear structure for attorney-client relationships and aligns financial expectations. Additionally, it helps legal professionals navigate the dynamics of contingency arrangements, ensuring their interests are protected while clearly communicating obligations to clients. This document serves as a foundational tool in personal injury and wrongful termination cases, making it essential for those involved in legal practice.
