A man, dying of thirst, is approached by another man carrying a suitcase and wearing a suit. The suit man is perfectly fine but the other man is surprised to see him.
The man in the suit is not bothered by seeing the man dying of thirst.
Why is the suit man not bothered by the other man?
First we discuss my percentage of any water you find, real or imagined.

Lawyers are known for both being overly formal and also, for their greediness. Instead of helping the man find water as a sane person would do, the lawyer is pre-negotiating a water contract. This joke is a jab at laywers, who are apparently so pragmatic and greedy that they might let someone die of thirst rather than not get their share.
