Agreement between referring and receiving attorneys for division of legal fees earned in a matter, with required client disclosure and consent, per ABA Model Rule 1.5(e) or applicable state rules.
The Attorney Fee Splitting / Referral Fee Agreement is a ready-to-use legal & compliance template you can send for signature in minutes. It is written for 2 signers (referring attorney and receiving attorney) and, by default, expires 30 days after it is sent if left unsigned. It covers fee splitting, referral fee, attorney, ethics, legal fee. Like every Abundera Sign template it is a convenience draft structured for ESIGN Act and UETA compliance, not a substitute for legal advice. Each signed copy is sealed with PAdES-LTA digital signatures, dual RFC 3161 timestamps, and a tamper-evident evidence package in WORM storage.
