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 prosecute a claim, specifically for wrongful termination. This agreement emphasizes key elements such as the percentage of attorney fees based on the outcome of the case, which varies depending on whether the case is settled out of court, resolved in trial, or pursued through appeals. It also stipulates how costs and expenses incurred by the attorney will be handled, including provisions for reimbursement by the client. Furthermore, the agreement highlights the attorney's lien on any recovery, empowering them to collect fees directly from settlement proceeds. Importantly, it allows for the employment of experts and associate counsel and provides the attorney with the power to execute necessary documents on behalf of the client. This form serves a broad audience in the legal profession, including attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, by providing a structured means of establishing a clear financial arrangement for services rendered in pursuit of a claim. The clarity of language and simplicity of terms facilitate understanding for users who may have little legal experience.
