| An arrangement under which a lawyer would join a trade and barter association would violate the fee-splitting roles if the lawyer shared 10% of the lawyer's fee with the association, because the 10% fee would be seen as compensation for the referral. [Rule 1.5(e) does not require that a lawyer sharing in fees also share responsibility, thus allowing "referral fees" if the client consents after full disclosure.] |
