MBC works with attorneys in Washington state and across the U.S. and encourages collaboration on appropriate cases.

Lead Counsel

Sometimes, referring attorneys choose to serve as co-counsel. In that event, we consider both firms as lead counsel and divide up the work, usually by issue.

More commonly, referring counsel prefers that MBC take the lead. In that event, the referring attorney chooses the role he or she wishes to take. This might be a passive role, a partial role, serving as primary client contact or whatever works best.

When MBC is lead counsel, our team takes full charge of directing, financing, investigating and preparing the case, while keeping the referring attorney fully advised of the progress of the case.

Fee Sharing

A significant portion of MBC's cases comes from attorney referrals. Understanding that we must be fair and generous with lawyers who entrust their clients to our care, our fee sharing is based upon the responsibility assumed by each party and the requirements of the Code of Professional Responsibility.

Our referring attorneys consistently say that we are very generous in our fee sharing agreements.
