This agreement clearly outlines the terms of employment, including the attorneys' fees based on a percentage of the net recovery, which varies depending on how the case is resolved (settlement, trial, or appeal). It specifies the responsibilities for costs and other expenses, allowing attorneys to advance necessary costs that the client will reimburse periodically.

The agreement also includes provisions for employing experts or associate counsel at the client's expense and outlines the client's obligations should they settle without the attorneys' consent.
