Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms under which clients can engage attorneys for legal representation, specifically in claims such as wrongful termination. A key feature is the percentage-based fee structure, where fees are contingent on the recovery amount, varying depending on whether the case is settled out of court, resolved by trial, or subject to appeal. This form also addresses the management of costs and expenses incurred during representation, including provisions for expert witness fees and associated travel costs. Furthermore, it grants attorneys a lien on the recovery to ensure payment for their services, even in cases of client disengagement. Attorneys retain the right to withdraw from representation under certain conditions but remain entitled to reimbursement for advanced costs. The form is particularly useful for legal professionals such as attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it clearly delineates the roles and financial responsibilities of both the client and the attorney, streamlining the process of legal claims management. It emphasizes the importance of transparent communication and informed consent regarding financial agreements, which is vital for maintaining trust between legal representatives and their clients.
