Fee Sharing with Nonlawyers in Legal Practice

Summary

The Colorado Legal Practice Integrity and Fee‑Sharing Prohibition Act makes it illegal for nonlawyers to own a law firm or receive a share of legal fees. It defines prohibited arrangements, including alternative business structures that give nonlawyers any economic interest in legal services. The law is intended to keep lawyers’ professional judgment independent and maintain public trust.
