Reinventing the Law on Contingency

Contingency Fee Lawyers

At DeepLaw, we believe that justice shouldn’t only belong to those who can afford to pay lawyers by the hour. That’s why we focus on contingency cases—where our fees depend on your recovery.

With contingency representation, we align our incentives with yours: if you don’t win, we don’t get paid. It’s risk-sharing, but also empowerment, making high-quality legal services available to people and organizations that might otherwise be shut out.

Our Contingency and Flat Fee options are designed to align legal services with your goals. You only pay when results are delivered or get a fixed cost you can budget around. It’s clarity, confidence, and commitment from day one.

Democratizing the Law Through Contingency Cases

Without access to revolutionary technologies, most lawyers — and nearly all big law firms — won’t even consider contingency cases. Tens of thousands of people each year are denied justice and the compensations they’re owed.

But with Generative AI, DeepLaw saw another way. We realized we could use technology to help us do the hard work that scares lawyers away from contingency (and flat fee) cases. And that’s how we began disrupting the legal profession and spreading fairness more evenly around the country, one case at a time.

Contingency Case Lawyers: A Different Way of Practicing

How Contingency Cases Work

Contingency fee cases mean that instead of paying hourly fees, clients agree that lawyers will receive a share of the recovery—whether from settlement, arbitration, or judgment. In contingency cases, clients and lawyers both share in the risk and the reward. Our agreements provide clear terms about:

The scope of representation (usually starting with demand letters, settlement negotiations, and, if necessary, drafting complaints)
The fact that litigation itself may require separate agreements or referrals or joint ventures with local counsel
How fees are calculated, depending on the stage of resolution
How clients will need to cover costs of court filings (minimal) and, if a case proceeds to discovery or trial, of travel, court reporters, and sometimes expert witnesses
Client’s control over settlement acceptance

This structure, adapted from our engagement agreements, ensures transparency and fairness at every stage.

Technology as a Force Multiplier

Most people can’t afford the work lawyers do in litigating an entire case. That means for most people, justice is denied. But most attorneys shy away from contingency cases because they’re resource-intensive. Even to assess whether a case is worth taking on contingency can take a lot of work: interviewing the prospective client, reviewing documents, doing research.

And if a lawyer takes a case on contingency, they require enormous upfront work—even more fact investigation, legal research, drafting, negotiation—with no guaranteed payout. But DeepLaw does it differently. We use advanced technology, including AI-driven document review, predictive analytics, and case modeling, to:

Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of claims
Calculate realistic damages scenarios
Identify winning legal theories faster
Streamline drafting and discovery preparation

Because we work smarter—not just harder—we can take on cases that other firms can’t afford to touch. That’s the true definition of disruption: providing services to people who previously couldn’t afford them.

Features of Our Contingency Agreements

Drawing on our experience and the terms we craft for clients, our contingency cases typically include:

- Tiered fees depending on when a matter resolves (early settlement vs. later stages)
- Escrow handling for all settlement funds, ensuring prompt and accurate distribution
- Application to partial settlements or structured payment streams
- Attorney’s lien protections to secure both sides’ obligations
- Termination rights if cases become non-viable or clients choose different counsel

We never promise an outcome, but we do promise commitment and candor.

Types of Cases We Take

We focus on cases where the stakes are high, the law is clear, and technology can give us an edge. These include:

Whistleblower and Qui Tam Actions
Breach of Contract for non-payment
Employment Wrongful Discharge and Retaliation
Intellectual Property Litigation (trademarks, copyrights)
High-value Civil Litigation where damages can be substantial (medical malpractice and other negligence)

Some of these cases are often complex, fact-heavy, and document-intensive—exactly the kind of work where DeepLaw’s tech-enabled approach thrives.
