Nevada SB365 prohibits attorneys from collecting fees exceeding 20% of the recovery amount in civil actions.

Nevada SB365 amends existing law to prohibit attorneys from contracting for or collecting fees contingent on the amount of recovery in excess of 20 percent of the amount recovered in civil actions, except for actions against health care providers for professional negligence or those contracted for by certain state agencies. The bill defines "recovered" as the net sum of money recovered by the plaintiff after deducting any disbursements or costs incurred in connection with the prosecution or settlement of the claim. The provisions apply to any contract entered into on or after October 1, 2025.
