hai,
interesting and rare query, to be frank. regarding money matters there is a prescribed format for claiming money decrees or claims. But most of us used to claim fee stepping away from it. In fact there is a common practise of claiming the fee as 10%, I have heard of some even claiming more than 20 %and 25 % as fees. Sincerely what i used to do is usually get a considerable amount taking into account that the same is acceptable for client also.
Do a thing, as settlement ask your lawyer to claim as per Rule 6 of Advocates Fee act.`
Hope am upto your query
