Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms of engagement between a client and their attorneys regarding the payment structure based on the outcome of a legal claim. It specifically defines 'contingency' meaning that attorneys will receive a fee only if the client receives a settlement or judgment. Key features include a detailed description of attorney fees, which vary depending on whether the case is settled without court, resolved at trial, or after an appeal. The agreement also addresses costs and expenses the client may incur, clearly stating that attorneys can advance these costs. Notably, it includes clauses on the attorneys' lien, employment of experts, and conditions under which either party can withdraw or discharge the agreement. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants to ensure clarity in fees and responsibilities, while protecting both parties in the legal process. Users can fill out specific sections tailored to their situation, such as the claim description and fee percentages, while easily editing terms to reflect the specific arrangement with the client.

Typically, most construction projects use a contingency rate of 5% to 10% from the total project budget. This is typically enough to cover any unexpected costs that may arise throughout the project.

This contingency is normally calculated as a percentage. If the phase is 100 days of effort, contingency at 20% would be another 20 days. As the project progresses, the level of risk reduces as the requirements and issues become known, so the percentage will be reduced.
