Description
The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm serves as a legal contract in San Antonio outlining the terms under which a client retains an attorney to pursue a claim, particularly a wrongful termination claim. This agreement specifies attorney fees based on the net recovery—differentiating fees for out-of-court settlements, trial resolutions, and appeals. It includes provisions regarding costs and expenses incurred by the attorney, stipulating that these costs may be advanced but will be reimbursed by the client. Additionally, it grants attorneys a lien on any recovery and allows them to retain fees from any settlement amounts received. The agreement strictly highlights that attorneys do not guarantee successful outcomes and can withdraw from the representation with notice. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants in managing contingencies in construction-related claims and ensures a clear understanding of fee structures and client responsibilities.
