请老猫帮助, 关于雇佣律师合同文件,麻烦您了.
与一老美律师谈关于事故索赔的官司,谈论后该律师愿意免费接案子,成功后从赔偿金中分成,不成功则没有任何费用. 但具体合同的英文文件好像有一些问题. 我没有学过律师合同知识,请老猫帮助.
5. Contingency Fee to Attorney. Client has been advised by Attorney and is aware that any contingency fee arrangements are not set by law and that a contigency fee between Attorney and Client is negotiable. -------------
~~~~d. Monetary sanctions awarded to Attorney during the course of this litigation shall not be considered part of Client's recovery in this action.~~~ But if the sanctions award includes a cost item (such as the filing fee for making a motion),the amount thereof shall be credited to Client's costs account when received by Attorney. 请问, 这是不是意味着如果得到任何惩罚性赔偿,都归律师所有?
6. Litigation Costs and Expenses. Attorney is authorized to incur reasonable costs and expenses in performing legal services under this Agreement. Client agrees to pay for such costs in addition to the contigency fee discussed in Paragraph 5 above.
Court filing fees; Process serving fees, etc.
~~~b. Client's Responsibility re Costs.
Attorney may advance such costs on Client's behalf but is not obligated to do so. Client agrees to reimburse Attorney upon demand for any such advances. Client is responsible for such reimbursement regardless of the status or outcome of the litigation, or the amount of any recovery. 关键, 这是不是说不管官司如何,都要付律师的各种费用? 如果是,这就和口头协议冲突了.
