Legal Representation Agreement

A Legal Representation Agreement is a contract between a client and an attorney that outlines the terms of their professional relationship. Key elements include:

1. Identification of parties involved (client and attorney/law firm)

2. Scope of legal services to be provided

3. Fee structure and payment terms (hourly rate, flat fee, or contingency)

4. Client responsibilities (providing information, paying fees)

5. Attorney responsibilities (communication, confidentiality)

6. Duration of the agreement

7. Termination clauses

This document clarifies expectations for both parties, helping to prevent misunderstandings. It specifies the legal matter(s) the attorney will handle and any limitations on their representation. The agreement also addresses how costs and expenses will be managed. By clearly defining the attorney-client relationship, this contract protects both parties’ interests and ensures a mutual understanding of the legal services to be rendered. It’s advisable to review the agreement carefully before signing and to ask for clarification on any unclear terms.
