Referral Fee

The attorney fee share paid by a national litigation firm to a referring co-counsel firm for originating and signing mass tort claimants. Referral fees are governed by Rule 1.5(e) of the Model Rules of Professional Conduct, which requires written client consent and fee division proportional to services rendered or joint responsibility. Referral fee percentages in mass tort typically range from 25% to 40% of the total contingency fee.
