Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the professional relationship between the Client and Attorneys regarding the prosecution of a wrongful termination claim in Phoenix. This document specifies the fee structure based on the outcome of the claim, including percentages for settlements made out of court, trial resolutions, and appellate measures. Clients are responsible for costs and expenses incurred during representation, which the Attorneys may advance. The agreement grants Attorneys a lien on any recovery obtained for the Client, ensuring their fees and costs are paid from any settlement or judgment. It also includes provisions for the employment of experts and associate counsel as necessary. Importantly, the Attorneys retain their right to fees even if the Client discharges them before resolution. The Agreement ensures clarity on settlements made by the Client without Attorney involvement and emphasizes that Attorneys do not guarantee a successful outcome. This form is ideal for legal professionals such as Attorneys, Partners, Owners, Associates, Paralegals, and Legal Assistants as it provides a clear framework for compensation arrangements in contingency cases, guiding them through the complexities of fee agreements in litigation.
