Attorneys: contingency fees.
Summary
Existing law, the State Bar Act, provides for the licensure and regulation of attorneys by the State Bar of California. Existing law requires an attorney who contracts with a client on a contingency fee basis to enter into a specified written contract with the plaintiff and requires the contract to include certain statements. This bill would make a nonsubstantive, technical change to those provisions.
