How referral fees work in Connecticut
Connecticut deliberately omits the ABA requirement of proportional services or joint responsibility, so a lawyer may collect a pure referral fee. A division of fee between lawyers not in the same firm is permitted if the client is advised in writing of the compensation sharing agreement and of the participation of all lawyers involved and does not object, and the total fee is reasonable. Per CBA ethics opinions, the referring lawyer must still have an attorney-client relationship with the client (even if its scope is just the referral) and both fee-sharers must be lawyers.
