Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm serves as a formal contract between clients and attorneys, primarily outlining the terms of legal representation for claims such as wrongful termination. This agreement designates the attorney's fees based on a percentage of the client's recovery and specifies additional costs related to the client's case. Key features include provisions for attorney's liens on recoveries, options for employing experts, and the employment of associate counsel at attorney's expense. Clients are advised to understand that attorneys do not guarantee a favorable outcome, and they have the authority to execute necessary documents on behalf of the client. It is essential that clients are aware of their obligations, especially regarding fees incurred if they settle independently without attorney consent. Attorneys, partners, legal assistants, and paralegals can utilize this form to ensure a clear understanding of the terms of engagement, minimizing disputes over fees and expectations. The agreement serves as a valuable resource for creating a transparent and professional relationship between legal representatives and their clients.
