Co-Counsel Origination

The business model in which a referring ("originating") law firm signs clients through advertising and refers them to a national litigation firm under a co-counsel agreement. The originating firm earns a referral fee (typically 25–40% of attorney's fees) without handling the litigation. This model is the financial engine for most mass tort advertising campaigns.
