Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is a crucial document in Utah for clients seeking legal representation, especially in wrongful termination cases. This agreement outlines the terms under which clients retain attorneys, specifying key aspects such as the attorney's fees based on the net recovery, which varies depending on whether the case is settled out of court or goes to trial. Clients are responsible for costs and expenses incurred by the attorneys, which are to be paid on a regular basis. The agreement also grants attorneys a lien on any recovery, ensuring they are compensated for their services. Importantly, clients must be aware that if they settle a case independently, they still owe attorneys their fees as per the agreement. This document is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, and paralegals, as it provides a clear framework for managing financial arrangements and expectations in legal cases. Additionally, it reinforces the attorney-client relationship by delineating roles, responsibilities, and the need for collaboration during litigation. Overall, this form serves as a vital tool for legal professionals to facilitate a transparent and structured approach to contingent fee arrangements.
