Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is a legal document that outlines the relationship between a client and their attorneys, particularly in cases of wrongful termination claims. This form specifies the attorney's fees based on the outcome of the claim, detailing percentages applicable for different resolutions, including out-of-court settlements and trial resolutions. It also includes provisions for costs and expenses incurred during representation, an attorney's lien on any recovery, and conditions for the employment of expert witnesses and associate counsel. Clients are required to reimburse attorneys for any advanced costs listed in the agreement. The document emphasizes that attorneys do not guarantee a favorable outcome and outlines the process for withdrawing from representation or settling claims without attorney consent. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants in managing contingent fee arrangements, ensuring transparency in fees, and providing clear guidelines for both parties in the legal representation process.

Contingencies. Contingent contracts, like contingencies themselves, cannot occur unless a certain condition is met. For instance, the sale of a home cannot take place without a prior home inspection, and an aircraft cannot leave the hangar without a thorough walk-around inspection by the pilot.

A contingency clause should clearly outline the conditions, how the conditions are to be fulfilled, and which party is responsible for fulfilling them. The clause should also provide a timeframe for what happens if the condition is not met.

A "contingent contract" is a contract to do or not to do something, if some event, collateral to such contract, does or does not happen.
