Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is a legal document designed for clients seeking representation in matters such as wrongful termination claims in Philadelphia. This form outlines the terms of employment between the client and attorney, detailing the percentage of fees the attorney will receive from the net recovery based on the resolution method—whether through settlement, trial, or appeal. It addresses the costs and expenses the client is responsible for, including reasonable disbursements, and emphasizes that attorneys can employ expert witnesses and associate counsel as needed. Additionally, it provides for an attorney's lien on any recovery amount and specifies the rights of attorneys if the client discharges them prematurely. Notably, the form includes provisions allowing attorneys to withdraw with proper notice while ensuring reimbursement for advanced costs. The language used in the agreement is straightforward, making it accessible to users without legal expertise. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, as it clearly delineates their rights, obligations, and potential financial implications in contingency fee arrangements.
