Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is designed for clients seeking legal representation in cases, such as wrongful termination claims, where fees are contingent upon recovering compensation. This agreement outlines the percentages the attorney will receive based on the outcome of the claim, specifying different rates for out-of-court settlements, trial outcomes, and appeals. Clients are responsible for reasonable costs and expenses incurred during the legal process, which are detailed in the agreement. It also includes provisions for the employment of expert witnesses and associate counsel as needed. Attorneys maintain a lien on any recovery for their fees and expenses, ensuring they are compensated before funds are disbursed to the client. Users must be aware that if they settle without attorney consent, they still owe fees per this agreement. Importantly, no outcomes are guaranteed, and attorneys advise clients appropriately through the process. This form is particularly beneficial for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it provides a structured approach to defining responsibilities, expectations, and payment arrangements in contingent attorney-client relationships.
