Contingency Fee Agreement Template for Singapore

This document type, while common in some jurisdictions, is not legally permissible in Singapore due to restrictions under the Legal Profession Act 1966. In Singapore, lawyers are prohibited from entering into arrangements where their fees are contingent upon the success of a case. Alternative fee arrangements must be used instead, such as fixed fees, hourly rates, or staged payments that are not dependent on case outcomes.

What is a Contingency Fee Agreement?

Contingency Fee Agreements typically structure legal fees as a percentage of the amount recovered in a case, but such arrangements are explicitly prohibited in Singapore. The Legal Profession Act 1966 Section 107(1)(b) bars lawyers from receiving remuneration dependent on claim success, considering such arrangements champertous. When seeking to establish fee arrangements in Singapore, alternative structures must be used that comply with local regulations while still providing clarity on fee expectations and payment terms.

5. Scope of Services: Detailed description of legal services to be provided

6. Payment Terms: Timeline and method of payment, including billing intervals and payment requirements

7. Termination: Conditions under which either party may terminate the agreement

What sections are optional to include in a Contingency Fee Agreement?

2. Third Party Costs: Treatment of external costs and disbursements, include when external services may be required

3. Client Obligations: Specific client responsibilities, include for complex matters requiring significant client cooperation
