Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms under which a client retains legal representation to pursue a wrongful termination claim. This agreement details the attorney's fees, which are based on a percentage of the net recovery, varying depending on whether the case is settled, resolved through trial, or subject to appeal. Clients are responsible for reasonable costs and expenses incurred during representation, while attorneys hold a lien on any settlement or judgment. The agreement permits attorneys to employ experts and associate counsel as needed, with associated costs being recoverable from the client. It clarifies the rights of attorneys in events of withdrawal or client-initiated settlements without consent. Notably, it emphasizes that attorneys do not guarantee favorable outcomes, and outlines the power of attorneys to execute necessary documents on behalf of the client. This form serves as a crucial tool for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants to establish clear, enforceable agreements while safeguarding all parties' interests.
