Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is a crucial document for establishing the terms under which a client retains legal representation for a claim, such as wrongful termination. This form outlines the attorney's fees based on recovery outcomes, including percentages for out-of-court settlements, trial resolutions, and appeals. It details the client's obligation to pay for reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the attorneys in advancing the case, which can cover various expenditures like expert witness fees and depositions. The agreement also includes provisions for attorney's liens on any recovered amounts and the potential employment of expert witnesses or associate counsel at the attorney's discretion. Importantly, the document clarifies the circumstances under which attorneys can withdraw from representation and the client's responsibilities if they settle without attorney consent. Given the document's nature, it is particularly beneficial for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who require a clear framework for client representation agreements, ensuring adherence to legal standards and promoting transparency in attorney-client relationships.
