Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms under which a client retains an attorney to prosecute a wrongful termination claim. Key features include the stipulation of attorney fees based on the net recovery from the claim, which varies depending on whether the matter is settled without trial, resolved by trial, or pursued through appeals. The agreement mandates that clients are responsible for certain costs and expenses incurred by the attorney, which will be billed periodically. Attorneys are granted a lien on any recovery from the client’s claim, securing their fees and advanced costs. Additionally, the agreement outlines the attorney's rights to employ expert witnesses and associate counsels and details the process for withdrawal of legal representation, as well as consequences for settling claims without attorney consent. This form is crucial for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants within the legal profession, as it provides a clear framework for managing client relationships, fee structures, and the responsibilities associated with handling claims, thereby enhancing their ability to navigate contingent fee arrangements. Its clarity simplifies the legal jargon, making it accessible for users with varying levels of legal understanding.
