FOR ATTORNEYS — CO-COUNSEL REFERRAL

A referral partner trained for federal-court craft.

If you have a New York construction or auto case that’s outside your usual practice — or one that warrants federal-court preparation — we’d like to talk. Generous co-counsel fee splits per the New York Rules of Professional Conduct, no client-poaching, and a single point of contact at the firm.

What we accept
Why us
Pedigree floor

Founding Partner Bob Amirian, Esq. clerked for Chief Judge Sharon Prost on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, then practiced at Venable LLP. Federal-court training shows up in every brief we file.

Operator's insight

Chief Operating Officer Jordan Sakni ran NYC construction development at Simba Property Group. Reads GC contracts, OAC meeting minutes, OSHA citation patterns, and subcontractor safety-budget negotiations the way the people running the project read them. (Jordan is not admitted; all legal work is performed by Bob and any future admitted attorneys at the firm.)

Fee splits

NY RPC 1.5(g)-compliant. Joint responsibility or share-based-on-work models, your choice. Written before retention. Disclosed to the client.

No poaching

Your relationship with the client is yours. We do not market to your referred clients after the matter closes.

Compliance & professional responsibility
Compliance & professional responsibility

NY RPC 1.5(g): Fee splits between lawyers not in the same firm require written client consent + writing of either joint responsibility OR a share-based-on-work allocation. We do both, in writing, before retention.

 

NY RPC 7.2: No payments for “recommending” us as a lawyer. Co-counsel fee splits on a specific matter are different and permitted under RPC 1.5(g).

 

No malpractice exposure-sharing. Each firm carries its own malpractice. We do not seek to indemnify referring firms against their own conduct, nor do we accept indemnification for ours.
