Changes to Colorado Rules: Allow trade names, referral agreements
When the revised Colorado Rules of Professional Conduct took effect Jan. 1, 2008, Colorado law firms were allowed to practice under trade names. The changes also allow a Colorado lawyer to enter into a reciprocal referral agreement with another lawyer or non-lawyer. In this July 2007 article, Nancy Cohen (chief deputy regulation counsel with the Colorado Supreme Court Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel) and Reba Nance (director of law practice management and risk managment for the Colorado Bar Association) discuss these changes to the Colorado rules.
