This Conditional Fee Agreement template is designed for use in the Danish legal market where success fee arrangements, while permitted, must be carefully structured to comply with local regulations. The document is typically used when a client and law firm wish to align interests by linking part of the legal fees to the outcome of a matter, such as in litigation, arbitration, or other significant legal proceedings. It includes comprehensive provisions on fee calculation, success criteria, risk allocation, and payment terms, all tailored to comply with Danish law requirements. The agreement is particularly relevant in cases where traditional hourly billing may not suit the client's needs or where risk-sharing between attorney and client is desired, while staying within the boundaries of what is permissible under Danish professional conduct rules.
