How referral fees work in Massachusetts
Massachusetts allows fee division between lawyers in different firms, including pure referral fees, without any requirement that the split match work performed or that the referring lawyer assume joint responsibility. The only conditions are that the client is notified before or at the time of entering the fee agreement that a division will be made, consents to the joint participation in writing, and the total fee is reasonable. The rule expressly does not prohibit payments to former partners or associates under separation or retirement agreements.
