All – As you know, I’ve been trying to refer as much
business as I can to your firm, primarily in a co-counsel capacity. We need to
discuss a generic arrangement of fee splitting when I remain on a case. If I
refer something to you outright where I will have no involvement, it is
completely yours to keep. And no doubt I will do that often as well. But given our mutual preference is to work together as much
as possible and we all want to derive some profit from the arrangement, we need
to come to terms with how best to accomplish this depending on the case. There
are a variety of ways to do this which are customary. Often times it is a
percentage of the fees you charge. At least that is how I have dealt with it in
the past with other firms. Of course, no matter what the arrangement is it must be
disclosed to the client in writing. I will be swinging by your office today to meet with Debra
to drop off some documents. I won’t have a lot of time as I am flying to
NY in the evening but if anyone is around, we can start discussing this. Thanks!
