Description: Bankruptcy is unique area of practice. We operate on flat fees, hourly fees, blended fee agreements, and “no look” fees. Our fees must be reviewed and approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Some bankruptcy attorneys require full payment to retain, while others offer payment plans. Some attorneys get paid electronically and others only accept cash or checks. Some attorneys only see clients in person while others run an all-virtual practice. However your firm operates, the fee agreement is one of the most important tools available to protect both the attorney and the client. This panel will address the various clauses bankruptcy attorneys should add to their fee agreements such as clauses addressing when a client no longer wishes to move forward with the case, or when a client’s circumstances have changed, and the attorney must rework the case. There are limited scope clauses to consider for post-petition services such as adversaries, negotiating with a trustee on equity buybacks, objecting to claims, handling random audits, redemptions, reaffirmation agreements, and appeals. Don’t miss this opportunity to strengthen your retainer agreements.
