Q: Is a contingency-fee arrangement possible for a high-value breach case in Florida?
We are a company based in the UAE and are the plaintiff in a lawsuit for breach of a settlement agreement against entities in the state of Florida, including a major brand valued at billions of dollars. Our claims exceed tens of millions of dollars, and we've completed substantial work over the past year with large legal teams.
We are seeking a legal team or lawyer in Florida willing to handle the case with an initial payment ranging from $10,000 to $20,000, alongside a contingency fee from any successful recovery. We are open to discussing specific terms of the contingency fee and flexible with timelines, so long as reasonable priority is given to our case. Is it feasible to find a legal arrangement like this in Florida?
A: A Florida attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. You'll need to reach out to law firms and ask around. It could be difficult for attorneys here to guess about whether a law firm would handle something on contingency. Contingency arrangements (other than the typical personal injury one-third and certain collection matters) are up to the firm, unless such arrangements prohibited by law, based on the type of case. It could depend on the amount at stake, the firm's confidence in prevailing, the resources a firm would need to invest, risks in losing, applicable laws, and other possible factors. The best way to answer your question would be to reach out to law firms to discuss. Good luck
