Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is a legal document that outlines the terms of engagement between a client and their attorney regarding a wrongful termination claim. This agreement stipulates that the client hires the attorney to represent them in pursuit of damages related to their case, with the attorney's fee contingent upon the success of the claim. Key features include the percentage of fees based on the outcome, whether settled pre-trial, through a trial, or via an appeal. The document also covers the handling of costs and expenses incurred by the attorney, including travel and expert witness fees, which are to be reimbursed by the client. Moreover, it establishes attorneys' liens on any recovery amount and outlines the process for attorney withdrawal or substitution. This form serves multiple utilities for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, providing a clear structure for fee arrangements while ensuring protection of both parties’ interests. It is essential for legal professionals who handle contingency cases to ensure their compliance with the agreement details, including reimbursement protocols and conditions of representation, thus facilitating a transparent attorney-client relationship.
