contingent fee(s)

contingent fee
A fee charged for a lawyer’s services only if the lawsuit is successful or is favorably settled out of court. • Contingent fees are usu. calculated as a percentage of the client’s net recovery (such as 25% of the recovery if the case is settled, and 33% if the case is won at trial). —
contingent fee contract
contingent fee contract (律师)成功酬金合同；胜诉分成合同 律师与当事人之间达成的协议，协议规定：如案件败诉，律师不得收取费用；如案件胜诉，律师在所得赔偿金中按一定比例收取费用。这种合同在英格兰是非法的。在美国，在某种情况下，例如在刑事案件和离婚案件中订立这种合同也是非法的，因为其违反公序良俗(参见全美律师协会《模范律师职业行为规则》〔ABA, Model Rules of Professional Conduct〕)。在人身伤害案件中，律师大多采用这种方式收取律师费，如案件在诉讼前和解解决的，按1/3提成收费；如案件经过艰难的诉讼而解决，则分成比例高达40%。由于律师与当事人之间潜在的利益差异，因此，当通过诉讼无法寻求可能的其他赔偿金时，律师便会力劝其当事人接受保险人的保险赔偿，即使其数额极低。由于律师费是按赔偿金总额分成的，因此，在当事人支付全部诉讼费用后，律师费可能还会高于当事人赔偿所得，这是这种合同的最大弊端。
