Retainer fees are often based on the rates you would charge under other payment models. For instance, if you charge $100 per hour for your services and typically work 40 hours per week for clients, you would likely look to charge a $4,000 monthly retainer.
The earned retainer fee is paid every month until the case is closed. Sometimes, the lawyer may be paid according to the milestones he has completed, for example, 25% after the pre-trial process, 60% after the hearing, and 100% when the case is determined and closed.
Retainer agreements should:Always be in writing.Contain a statement that the firm has conducted a search for conflicts of interest and either (1) there are no conflicts, or (2) appropriate parties, including the client, have been advised of potential conflicts and waived them.Define the scope of the engagement.More items...
Most lawyers require a retainer agreement, which is also known as a work for hire contract. This document typically includes the type of work the attorney is doing for the client, all associated fees, and the general rights of both parties entering into the agreement.
