Key features include the statement of employment, detailing the client's retention of the attorney, and a clear outline of attorney fees based on recovery outcomes (settlement, trial, or appeal). The agreement also specifies costs that may be incurred during representation, including expert fees and necessary disbursements, emphasizing that these costs will be the client's responsibility.

Each section addresses crucial aspects of the attorney-client relationship, ensuring clarity on financial obligations and legal processes. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, providing a structured framework for managing contingency cases and protecting both parties' interests.
