Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is a legal document designed for clients seeking representation in claims such as wrongful termination. This agreement stipulates that attorneys will receive a percentage of the net recovery, which varies depending on whether the case is settled pre-trial, resolved in court, or involves an appeal. It also outlines the client's responsibility to cover additional costs and expenses incurred during representation, such as expert witness fees and travel expenses. Attorneys are entitled to a lien on any recovered amounts to secure payment for their services. This form provides clarity on the attorney-client relationship, ensuring that both parties understand the financial implications of the legal representation. It's particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants to formalize the compensation structure before commencing litigation. The document emphasizes the importance of clear communication regarding fees and expenses, as well as the client's rights should they choose to settle independently. Additionally, it includes provisions for withdrawal and discharge of attorneys, making it comprehensive for diverse legal scenarios.
