Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms under which a client retains an attorney to represent them in a wrongful termination claim. This agreement establishes that the attorney's fees will be contingent upon the outcome, specifying distinct percentages for settlements out of court, trials, and appeals. It also details costs and other expenses that the client is responsible for, and provides information about the attorney’s lien on any recovery. The document allows attorneys to employ expert witnesses and associate counsel at their discretion. Notably, the agreement ensures that attorneys are entitled to fees even if the client discharges them before settlement. It underscores that no guarantees can be made regarding the claim's outcome and empowers attorneys to act on behalf of the client in executing necessary documentation. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it provides a structured approach to managing client agreements while ensuring compliance with Oklahoma law.
