Description

The Contingency Contract in Negotiation in Queens serves as a formal agreement between a client and attorneys, particularly useful for cases like wrongful termination claims. This contract outlines crucial components such as the payment terms for attorney fees, which vary based on whether the case is settled out of court, via trial, or after an appeal. Clients are also responsible for covering costs like deposition and travel expenses, which must be paid regularly. The agreement grants attorneys a lien on any recovery amount, ensuring they are compensated for their services. Furthermore, attorneys are authorized to hire expert witnesses or associate counsel at their discretion. Should the client settle without attorney consent, they are still obligated to compensate the attorneys based on the terms of the agreement. For legal professionals—attorneys, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants—this form provides a structured approach to managing client expectations and financial obligations while facilitating effective negotiations. Understanding its provisions is essential for ensuring compliance and maintaining professional standards in legal representation.
