Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is designed for clients seeking legal representation on a no-win, no-fee basis. This agreement specifies that clients will pay attorneys a percentage of the net recovery from their case, with different rates for settlements and trials. It outlines the responsibilities of both parties, including the client's obligation to cover reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the attorneys. Additionally, this agreement grants attorneys the right to a lien on any recovery from the claim and allows them to employ expert witnesses at the client's expense. Attorneys can retain their fee even if they are discharged prior to settlement, and the agreement states that the attorneys do not guarantee a favorable outcome. Key users of this form include attorneys who manage client cases, partners who might negotiate fees, owners who oversee legal practices, associates who assist in case preparation, paralegals handling documentation, and legal assistants supporting various functions. This form provides a structured approach for establishing a contingent fee agreement, ensuring clarity and mutual understanding between the client and attorney.
