2930 The Rules of Professional Conduct provide that attorneys shall not split fees unless the client has consented in writing after full disclosure to the client in writing, and this rule prevents the enforcement of a fee splitting agreement even though one of the attorneys promised to notify the client in writing and did, in fact, notify the client orally.CitationMARGOLIN v SHEMARIA (Fee Splitting) 85 CA4 891 [See: B&PC 6076, 6077; R of PC 2-200; Green v Ralee 19 C4 66, T/AT 10/98; Phillippe v Shapell 43 C3 1247]
