• W809615237 abstract "ACROSS Western Europe, North America and Australia, a prime issue of the moment for lawyers and their professional associations is whether relax long-standing rules prohibiting lawyers from forming partnership practices with non-lawyers, a stance often stated in terms of fee sharing. The latest manifestation of the debate occurred in the summer of 1999 when a commission formed by the American Bar Association study the issue made recommendations the ABA House of Delegates that the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct be amended permit multidisciplinary practice with safeguards protect the core values of the legal profession. In July 1999, a forum on multidisciplinary practice was presented at the International Association of Defense Counsel annual meeting, with speakers from the England, the United States, Canada and Australia. Commission proposes change The ABA Commission on Multidisciplinary Practice recommended changes in the ABA's model rules. But even if these changes were adopted, they would not open the doors multidisciplinary partnerships in the United States, except as similar rules amendments were be adopted by the multiple state jurisdiction there. While most U.S. states follow the ABA model, often with variations, they are not obliged do so. Similar complexities exist in federal nations such as Canada and Australia, where regulation of the legal profession is by state or province. After several hours of debate over both substance and procedure, the ABA House of Delegates rejected the recommendations that lawyers should be permitted practice in a multidisciplinary setting, known as MDP, and deferred any action on the issue indefinitely for additional study. The commission was created in August 1998 to determine what changes, if any, should be made the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct with respect the delivery of legal services by professional services firms. Pursuing this assignment, the commission, chaired by Sherwin P. Simmons of Florida, heard 60 hours of testimony from 56 witnesses from around the world and received many written and oral communications. Permit but control MDPs The commission submitted a unanimous report with 15 recommendations, the major ones being: A lawyer should be permitted share legal fees with a non-lawyer, subject certain safeguards that prevent erosion of the core values of the legal profession.... The legal profession should adopt and maintain rules of professional conduct that protect its core values, independence of professional judgment, protection of confidential client information, and loyalty the client through avoidance of conflicts of interest, but should not permit existing rules unnecessarily inhibit the development of new structures for the more effective delivery of services and better public access the legal system. The accomplishment of this objective would require altering the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, most notably Rule 5.4(b), which provides: A lawyer shall not form a partnership with a non-lawyer if any of the activities of the partnership consist of the practice of law. The commission defined a multidisciplinary practice as a partnership, professional corporation, or other association or entity that includes lawyers and non-lawyers and has one, but not all, of its purposes the delivery of legal services a client(s) other than the MDP itself and holds itself out the public as providing non-legal, as well as legal, services. It includes an arrangement by which a law firm joins with one or more other professional firms provide services, including legal services, and there is a direct or indirect sharing of profits as part of the arrangement. Opposition is strong It was clear from the House of Delegates debate that had the commission's proposal been subjected an up-or-down vote, it would have lost. …" @default.
