Description
The Contingency Fee Agreement outlines the terms between a client and their attorneys for legal representation in a claim, such as wrongful termination. In this agreement, the client retains the attorneys to manage their case and negotiate settlements or initiate legal actions as deemed necessary. Key features include specifying attorney fees based on whether a case is settled out of court, resolved at trial, or involves an appeal, with the percentages clearly defined. Additionally, the form covers the allocation of costs and expenses, employment of experts, and the attorney's lien on any recovery. It also addresses attorney withdrawal, client settlements without consent, and includes a power of attorney provision for document execution. This agreement is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it streamlines the understanding of fee structures, responsibilities, and legal rights, facilitating more efficient case management.

Additionally, the rules of professional ethics prohibit attorneys from working on contingency in family law or criminal law cases, because this would appear to condone or even encourage divorce or criminal activity.
Apply the rule of thirds – 1/3 is your salary, 1/3 is expenses, 1/3 is unproductive time. In this case simple triple the salary you expect and divide it by the number of working days in the year to obtain a daily rate.
To calculate your hourly consulting rate from your working week salary follow these steps: Determine what salary you'd like to make. Take that number and divide it by 52 (number of working weeks), then again by 40 (number of hours each week). Take that number and mark it up by 25% to 50%.
