Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is a crucial document designed for clients engaging legal representation on a contingency fee basis. This agreement outlines the terms of employment, specifying the client’s commitment to pay attorneys a percentage of the net recovery from a claim, such as wrongful termination. It details the fee structure, which varies depending on whether the case is settled out of court, through trial, or after appeal, establishing clear guidelines for both parties. Moreover, the agreement addresses the costs and expenses that clients may incur, including disbursements for expert witnesses and other necessary costs. This form also clarifies the attorneys' lien on any recovery, ensuring they are compensated for their services and expenses incurred in pursuing the client’s claim. Additionally, provisions are included for potential withdrawal of attorneys from the case, the implications if a client settles without the attorney's consent, and a disclaimer regarding the guarantee of a favorable outcome. This document is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, as it provides a clear framework for managing client expectations and delineating responsibilities.
