Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is a legal document that outlines the terms under which a client retains an attorney to represent them in a legal claim, such as wrongful termination. This agreement specifies the percentage of net recovery that will be paid to the attorney based on whether the case is settled out of court, through trial, or after an appeal. It also details the responsibilities for any costs and expenses incurred during the representation, including expert witness fees and travel costs. Attorneys have the authority to employ other professionals as needed and are entitled to retain liens on any recovery obtained for the client. If the client settles the claim independently, they must still pay the agreed attorney fees. Both parties are governed by the laws of the state indicated in the agreement, ensuring compliance with local regulations. This form is essential for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it clarifies financial agreements and outlines expectations for both the client and the legal representation, promoting transparency and understanding in contingency fee arrangements.
