View this case - free  

Overview: Since a former partner's entitlement to a referral fee was an interest in the fee, not in the firm, the former law firm's referral fee did not lose its character as "outside" because of its assignment to the former partner. Thus, a 15 percent referral fee was not covered by a later buy out agreement and the former partner was entitled to the fee.
