What Are Contingency Fee Billing Arrangements

In some types of legal cases, attorneys are willing to work on a contingency fee basis or fee arrangement. This means that the attorney agrees upfront to accept no fee from the client. Instead, the lawyer receives a percentage of the ultimate settlement or financial judgment the client obtains at the conclusion of the case.

Which Legal Areas Typically Use Contingency Fee Billing Arrangements

Contingency fee billing arrangements are more common for a plaintiff's counsel. This occurs because individual litigants are often less able to pay the hefty costs associated with litigation as they accrue.

Limitations On Contingency Fee Billing Arrangements

Courts often establish limits and boundaries on contingency fee billing arrangements. These limits frequently cap the percentage of recovery the attorney can obtain from a client's settlement or award.
