The Retainer And Contingency Fee Agreement is essential for establishing professional relationships where legal services are provided on a hybrid fee basis in the Netherlands. This document is typically used when clients require ongoing legal support (covered by the retainer) while also wanting to align their interests with their legal representative through a success-based fee component. It's particularly relevant for litigation, corporate transactions, and other matters where Dutch law permits contingency arrangements. The agreement must carefully navigate the Dutch Bar Association's restrictions on contingency fees while providing clear terms for both regular payments and success-based compensation. It includes comprehensive provisions for scope of services, payment calculations, professional obligations, and termination rights, ensuring compliance with Dutch legal profession regulations and consumer protection requirements.
