Henry M. Quillian III walks the group through a client example of a contingency fee agreement offering a checklist to consider in order to avoid missteps. Henry lays out aspects that affect both the client and attorney (highlighting accrued hourly time and costs), sharing a document example that opens with a scope of representation. He walks through the various sections, which include terms of engagement and more detailed legal fees and costs. Important to note is the outlining of contingent-fee basis, risk associated with the case, projected hours and gross recovery.
Henry speaks to the attorney fee award, which encapsulates things of value recovered during a case and resulting in an award or agreement to pay legal fees, including but not limited to cash, real property, tangible or intangible property (does not include gross recovery or costs). Other sections discussed include costs, additional counsel, disputes/arbitration/fees, termination, successor counsel, review by attorney, file retention and confidentiality.
