The Mixed Contingency Fee Agreement is designed for use in Canadian legal practice where a combination of fee arrangements is appropriate for a single matter. This document is typically used when certain aspects of legal work are better suited to traditional billing methods while others warrant a contingency arrangement. For example, initial investigation or routine matters might be billed hourly, while the litigation portion is handled on a contingency basis. The agreement must comply with provincial law society rules and regulations regarding fee arrangements, including specific requirements for contingency fee agreements. It includes comprehensive details about fee calculations, timing of payments, treatment of disbursements, and client rights and obligations. This type of agreement is particularly useful in complex litigation matters, class actions, or cases where the client requires flexibility in fee arrangements to ensure access to justice.
