The No Attorney Fee Agreement is a crucial document in Philippine legal practice, particularly in pro bono and public interest cases. It is commonly used when attorneys provide legal services without charging professional fees, whether as part of organized pro bono programs, legal aid initiatives, or individual arrangements. This agreement, while waiving attorney's fees, still needs to comply with Philippine legal requirements, including the Civil Code of the Philippines and the Code of Professional Responsibility. The document typically outlines the scope of free legal services, clarifies that no attorney's fees will be charged, addresses the handling of other expenses, and establishes the rights and obligations of both parties. It's essential in situations involving indigent clients, non-profit organizations, public interest cases, or other circumstances where legal services are provided without professional fees.
