SYLLABUS: The mandatory fee mediation or arbitration for lawyer fee disputes set forth in Prof.Cond.R. 1.5(f) applies only to fee disputes arising between lawyers who are not in the same firm at the outset of the representation of a client and who enter into a fee agreement to divide fees pursuant to Prof.Cond.R. 1.5(e). Fee disputes between a lawyer who has departed the firm and the lawyer’s former firm are not governed by the mandatory fee arbitration or mediation process in Prof.Cond.R. 1.5(f).
