| A lawyer employed by a non-profit organization and a private practitioner who sometimes handles cases pro bono for the non-profit organization may share court-awarded attorneys’ fees with the organization (although it would be unethical for a lawyer who accepts a pro bono case to charge or collect a contingent fee for the representation). The court’s review of the fees and the fact that the client is not paying the fees eliminate any worry about fee-sharing or overreaching by the lawyers. |
