Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is a vital document for clients engaging legal representation under a contingency fee structure in Phoenix. This agreement outlines the relationship between the client and the attorneys, including the terms of employment and the percentage of recovery that attorneys will receive as fees, differentiated by settlement and trial outcomes. Clients are informed that they are responsible for any reasonable costs incurred during the legal process, which are to be paid on a regular basis. The agreement provides attorneys with a lien on any recovery, ensuring their fees are secured. It also allows attorney discretion in hiring expert witnesses or associate counsel, with related fees being advanced and reimbursable by the client. Important provisions include clauses on withdrawal, client settlements without consent, and the lack of guarantees regarding the outcome of the case. This form is specifically useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who are involved in case management and need a clear framework for fee structures and the responsibilities of both parties involved in a legal claim.
