Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms under which a client engages attorneys to pursue a wrongful termination claim. It stipulates the attorney's fees, which are based on a percentage of the net recovery from the claim, varying by whether the matter is settled out of court, resolved through trial, or through an appeal. The agreement also details costs and expenses that the client must reimburse, the attorneys' lien on any recovery, and provisions for employing expert witnesses or associate counsel. It highlights the client's obligation to pay fees if they settle without attorney consent. Importantly, the document clarifies that attorneys do not guarantee favorable outcomes and outlines the power of attorney rights granted to attorneys for execution of necessary legal documents. This form is especially useful for attorneys, partners, and legal assistants, as it provides a clear framework for contingency fee arrangements, ensuring that all parties understand their rights and responsibilities. The clarity of the document allows paralegals and legal assistants to assist in its effective application and management, making it invaluable for law firms engaged in contingency fee-based legal work.
