| A group of law firms may incorporate to share their expertise. A fee-sharing arrangement does not have to be proportional to the different firms' effort as long as the client consents after full disclosure and both lawyers are responsible for the client. [This LEO was partially overruled by Rule 1.5(e), which does not require that a lawyer sharing in fees also share responsibility, thus allowing "referral fees" if the client consents after full disclosure.] |
