court case
This is in context of a court decision. The sentence goes as follows:
اعتبار حق الامتياز المقرر لأتعاب المحامي والمصروفات اللاحقة به به منصبّاً على الأموال الآيلة للموكل في الدعوى الموكل فيها المحامي
I would go with either concession or privilege but I am not sure.
Many thanks.

first lien
I think the meaning here is that the lawyer has a first lien over the property of his client to recover his legal fees, but it is limited in your context to the client's property recovered by the lawyer in the relevant lawsuit and not any other property.

right to collect or to be paid
From the sentence it is apparent that the solicitor's/lawyer's fees and relevant expenditures are to be paid from the proceeds of the award to the claimant.

Discussion
In general, a lien is a security interest used by a creditor to ensure payment by a debtor for money owed. Since an attorney is entitled to payment for services performed, the attorney has a claim on a client's property until compensation is duly made.
A charging lien is an attorney's right to a portion of the judgment that was won for the client through professional services. It is a specific lien and only covers a lawyer's claim on money obtained in a particular action.
A retaining lien is more general in its scope. It extends to all of a client's property that an attorney might come into possession of during the course of a lawsuit. Until an attorney is compensated for services, he or she has a claim or interest in such property.
