Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is a vital legal document specifically designed for clients in Queens looking to retain legal representation on a contingency fee basis. This agreement outlines the representation of the client in pursuing a wrongful termination claim, detailing the percentage of net recovery the attorneys will earn based on the resolution method — whether through settlement, trial, or appeal. It emphasizes that the attorneys may advance costs related to the claim, which the client will ultimately be responsible for, and establishes a lien on any recovery to secure payment of attorney fees. Additionally, it allows the attorneys to hire expert witnesses and associate counsel as needed, and addresses conditions around attorney withdrawal and client-settled claims without consent. This form serves crucial utility for legal professionals, such as attorneys, partners, and paralegals, by providing them with a structured approach to outline fee arrangements and client responsibilities while maintaining legal compliance and clarity in relationships with clients. These key features make it an essential tool for ensuring both parties are protected and informed throughout the legal process.
