Most lawyer-client disputes involve fees. A clear, written agreement between lawyer and client can help prevent misunderstandings, fee disputes, and malpractice claims. The fifth edition of Fee Agreement Compendium is an essential practice tool that covers important information Oregon lawyers need regarding ethics issues, billing costs, credit issues, retainer letters, and IOLTA.
Here are just a few reasons why you need this new edition:

There are now 42 forms, including general fee agreements, checklists, sample clauses, and specific fee agreements for nine discrete practice areas.
Each set of forms is preceded by clearly organized notes and comments regarding usage.
Agreements and letters are written in plain language so that a client can understand the document.
Essential bankruptcy disclosure statements are included in the bankruptcy chapter, along with the fee agreements.
Four engagement letters, six nonengagements, and three disengagement letters are included.
All ethics rules and ethics opinions citations have been updated.
