Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement Sample with Attorney Fees in Utah is a legal document that outlines the terms of engagement between a client and attorneys for the prosecution of a claim, such as wrongful termination. Key features include the stipulation of attorney fees based on the client's recovery percentage, which varies depending on whether the case is settled out of court, resolved by a trial, or requires an appeal. The agreement details the responsibilities regarding costs and expenses, allowing attorneys to advance necessary disbursements, which the client must reimburse. Additionally, it grants attorneys a lien on any recovery, ensuring they can recover their fees from the settlement. Importantly, the form addresses the employment of expert witnesses and associate counsel, provides for the procedures in case of withdrawal or discharge of attorneys, and emphasizes that no outcome is guaranteed. This contingency fee agreement serves as a vital tool for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, particularly in ensuring clarity about fee structures and responsibilities, thus aiding in better communication and management of client expectations.
