Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the arrangement between a client and their attorneys regarding the handling of a wrongful termination claim. This document specifies the percentage of the net recovery that the client will owe the attorneys, depending on whether the matter is settled out of court, resolved through trial, or after an appeal. Additional clauses address the costs and expenses that the client is responsible for, which may include travel, deposition costs, and expert witness fees. The agreement also details the attorneys' lien on the claim, allowing them to retain their fees from any settlements. Importantly, it grants attorneys the power to execute necessary documents on behalf of the client and clarifies that no warranties are made regarding the outcome of the claim. The form is crucial for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants in ensuring a clear understanding of fee structures, responsibilities, and the legal implications of representation. Using this agreement fosters transparency and helps to manage client expectations throughout the legal process.
