Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement sample format in Orange is designed for use by clients and attorneys involved in legal cases, particularly those concerning wrongful termination claims. This form outlines the terms of employment between a client and their attorneys, specifying fees based on the outcome of the claim, including different percentages for out-of-court settlements, trial resolutions, and appeals. It details the responsibility of the client regarding legal costs and expenses incurred by the attorneys, which may be billed periodically. The agreement also grants attorneys a lien on any recovered funds, ensuring they are compensated from any settlement or judgment. Importantly, it includes provisions for the employment of expert witnesses and the authority of attorneys to act on behalf of the client. The agreement stipulates the conditions for withdrawal of attorneys and client notification. It emphasizes that no guarantee of a favorable outcome is made, reinforcing the role of attorneys as advisors rather than guarantors. This document is invaluable for attorneys, partners, and legal support staff, facilitating clear client relationships and ensuring mutual understanding of financial arrangements and responsibilities.
