How referral fees work in New Jersey
New Jersey has a two-track system. Under RPC 1.5(e), which opens 'Except as otherwise provided by the Court Rules,' lawyers in different firms may divide fees for legal services only if the division is in proportion to services performed or, by written agreement with the client, each lawyer assumes joint responsibility; pure referral fees are otherwise barred by RPC 7.2(c) and 7.3(d). Court Rule 1:39-6(d) creates an exception allowing attorneys certified by the Supreme Court (civil trial, criminal trial, matrimonial) to pay a referral fee to the referring lawyer without regard to services performed or responsibility assumed, paid out of, and not exceeding, the certified attorney's reasonable fee. The NJ Supreme Court held on February 18, 2025 that certified attorneys may pay such referral fees to out-of-state lawyers as well.
