Description

The Contingent Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms and conditions under which a client engages an attorney to handle a legal claim, particularly in cases of wrongful termination. This form specifies the fee structure, typically consisting of a percentage of the net recovery, calculated differently based on whether the case settles before trial, goes to trial, or involves an appeal. Clients are also responsible for covering reasonable costs advanced by attorneys, which can include expert witness fees and other related expenses. The document grants attorneys a lien on any recovery, ensuring they are compensated for their services. It allows attorneys to employ experts and associate counsel while providing stipulations for discharging or substituting attorneys. The form establishes that any settlement made without the attorneys' consent will still incur their fees and reimbursement for advanced costs. Importantly, the agreement does not guarantee a favorable outcome, emphasizing that any statements regarding the case are opinions. This form is highly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants looking to establish clear expectations and responsibilities about contingent fees in Salt Lake.
