The New York Notice of Retainer and Appearance On Behalf of Employer is a legal document used to inform the court that an attorney or law firm is representing an employer in a legal case. This document identifies the employer, informs the court of the employer's right to counsel, and sets out the terms of the attorney-client relationship. There are two types of New York Notice of Retainer and Appearance On Behalf of Employer: one for use in federal court and one for use in state court. The federal form identifies the parties, states the general nature of the legal services to be rendered, and includes a statement of the terms of the retainer agreement. The state form includes the same information, as well as the names of the parties to be represented and a statement of the attorney's qualifications. Both forms must be signed by the employer and the attorney and filed with the court.
