Law Society limits referral fees and strengthens advertising rules in the public interest

TORONTO – Today, the Law Society’s governing body, Convocation, agreed to cap and further regulate the fees a lawyer or paralegal may charge for referring a client to another licensee. A cap on referral fees was approved in principle. Rule amendments to implement the policy, and related proposals for additional requirements to increase transparency in marketing and to ensure genuine consent in referral fee arrangements will be considered by Convocation in the coming months.
