Comment on Proposed Changes to D.C. Rules Pertaining to Nonlawyer Owners in a Firm

Bar lawyers to cooperate and share fees with nonlawyers in a firm where its “principal” rather than “sole” purpose is the provision of legal services to clients, and where any other services provided by the firm are law-related services.
