Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is a legal document utilized in Ohio outlining the terms of payment for legal services, specifically in cases of wrongful termination claims. This agreement establishes that the client will compensate the attorneys based on a percentage of the net recovery, varying depending on whether the claim is settled out of court, resolved by trial, or after appeal. Key features include provisions for advancing costs, attorneys' liens on recovered sums, and provisions for employing expert witnesses. Attorneys may also withdraw from the agreement under certain conditions, and clients have a responsibility to pay fees even if they settle directly without attorney consent. The form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, and associates in managing their fee structures, while paralegals and legal assistants can assist clients in understanding the terms and ensuring proper filling. This agreement helps maintain transparency and clarity between the client and attorneys regarding financial responsibilities and service expectations.
