Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is a critical document for clients engaging legal representation for claims such as wrongful termination. It outlines the terms of employment between the client and the attorneys, specifying various fees based on the outcome of the case. The agreement details the percentage of the net recovery to be paid as attorney fees, varying depending on whether the claim is settled out of court or after trial. Additionally, it addresses costs and expenses the client may incur and provides guidelines for the employment of experts and associate counsel. The form includes provisions regarding attorney withdrawal, the client's obligation to pay fees upon settling without attorney consent, and the general stipulation that no outcome is guaranteed. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants in establishing clear financial expectations. They can use this document to protect their interests while providing transparency to clients about their potential liabilities and the legal process.
