Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms under which a client retains attorneys to handle a wrongful termination claim. Key features include the statement of employment, which empowers attorneys to negotiate settlements and file legal actions, and the fees structure, detailing percentages of net recovery based on case outcomes. The document addresses costs and expenses that the client must cover, and it grants attorneys a lien on the recovery until fees and expenses are paid. It also provides for the employment of expert witnesses and associate counsel at the attorneys' discretion. Importantly, attorneys are entitled to their fees even if the client discharges them or settles without consent. The agreement contains clauses ensuring clients are aware that no favorable outcome is guaranteed. The utility of this form is significant for attorneys, partners, and paralegals, as it delineates clear financial responsibilities and expectations in managing client cases. Legal assistants will find it useful for understanding fee structures and costs, aiding in efficient case management, and ensuring compliance with legal standards.
