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

2. Scope of legal services to be provided

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

4. Client responsibilities (providing information, paying fees)

5. Attorney responsibilities (communication, confidentiality)

6. Potential conflicts of interest

7. Termination clauses

This agreement sets clear expectations for both parties, helping to prevent misunderstandings and disputes.

The document also typically includes details about billing practices, expenses, and how client funds will be managed. By signing this agreement, both the client and attorney commit to their respective roles and responsibilities in the legal process. It’s important to review this document carefully and ask questions before signing to ensure a mutual understanding of the terms.
