There is no written agreement. The carrier pays all expenses. The proposal of these three senior employees of this office is that they be permitted to use a firm name consisting of their three names, even though they are in fact employees of their single client. The second inquiry is from an office that also works exclusively for one insurance carrier. The office name presently has only one title name - that of the senior of the group.
All attorneys are on the payroll of the insurance carrier.
All office expenses and overhead are paid by the carrier. Here again there is no partnership agreement. Although all employees share the legal work, they do not share expenses or income. They work full time with no outside practice. They are paid salaries plus percentages of the fees produced by their work as well as a percentage of fees on matters brought to the office by them but performed by others.
