Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement is a legal document utilized in Pennsylvania between a client and their attorneys regarding representation for claims, such as wrongful termination. This agreement outlines the conditions under which attorneys are retained, detailing fees based on the outcome of the case. Attorneys can receive a percentage of the net recovery, with specific rates depending on whether the matter is settled before court, through trial, or on appeal. The document also addresses costs incurred by the attorneys, stipulating that clients will be responsible for these expenses on a predetermined basis. Importantly, the agreement grants attorneys a lien on any recovery made, ensuring their fees are secured. The form also includes provisions for the employment of expert witnesses and associate counsel. It supports the rights of attorneys if the client decides to change representation or settle independently. Attorneys, partners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants will benefit from using this form as it helps clarify obligations, expectations, and legal rights, ensuring a transparent and organized approach to contingency fee arrangements.
