Document background
The Fee Agreement Form serves as a critical document in the U.S. legal services industry, protecting both attorneys and clients by clearly defining the financial aspects of their professional relationship. This document is required by most state bar associations and must comply with specific rules of professional conduct. The agreement typically includes hourly rates, retainer requirements, billing procedures, and scope of representation. A properly drafted Fee Agreement Form helps prevent misunderstandings about costs and services while ensuring compliance with legal and ethical requirements.
