The Framework for Bell Legal Group’s Partnership Program

Bell Legal Group’s referral and partnership programs help our collective practices and clients succeed. We’ve developed a partnership program that provides a framework for us to help fellow law firms give every case the attention it deserves.

Selecting a co-counsel or partnering with a law firm is similar to choosing a business partner. We take these arrangements seriously and understand that the referring attorney and client’s interests must be protected. If you’re exploring our partnership options, here are some insights into our program:

Protecting Client Relationships

Bell Legal Group performs thorough confidentiality and conflict-of-interest checks before entering into a law firm partnership or accepting a client referral. These checks and balances evaluate current and former clients, opposing parties, expert witnesses, and other key relationships.

Fee Sharing and Consent

We take the rules of ethics seriously and feel compliance and transparency are keys to building trust between legal professionals and our mutual clients. Bell Legal Group relies on written agreements for law firm referrals and partnerships to provide clear hand-offs from your firm to ours, informing the client of any responsibilities, fee sharing, and other facts of the arrangement.

Transparent Working Relationships

Reciprocal relationships between law firms are built on trust, respect, and transparency. Our lawyers treat referring clients with dignity and fairness, and we value mutually beneficial working relationships with law firms like yours. We’ll work closely with you to outline each entity’s role, financial contributions, and the scope of representation and participation, and inform the client of all agreements.

Collaboration and Communication

Bell Legal Group is set up to work with law firms across the nation! Not only do we share gains, but we also share responsibility, and leverage communication tools to create a collaborative environment that utilizes the best talent and resources available. When we partner with you on a case, we’ll:

• Keep your firm and our mutual clients updated on statuses and developments
• Tailor our services to meet client needs without compromise
• Work with a network of resources, investigators, and professionals to increase our knowledge base and understanding of the case
• Streamline case management using best-in-class tools and technology 

Comprehensive Litigation Support

We’re a trial-driven law firm with experience in courthouses nationwide. We leverage our understanding of local and federal court procedures, venue dynamics, and jury selection to benefit our mutual clients. When you partner with a hands-on law firm like Bell Legal Group, you’ll receive the litigation support you need to pursue complex cases and foster long-term client relationships.

Post-Case Analysis and Review

Our jobs aren’t complete when a case closes. Bell Legal Group provides ongoing legal support to our co-counsel and partnership law firms. By nurturing relationships after resolution, we can understand our clients’ satisfaction and better gauge future needs.

Join Our Partnership Network and Let’s Grow Our Businesses

An expanded legal network is necessary to provide comprehensive services, and establishing a partnership with our law firm can broaden your resources and relationships.

Our partnerships aren’t meant to be fleeting; we develop long-term professional relationships that allow us to accept cases from your firm on an ongoing basis. Rather than sending clients to online directories, you can refer them to a trusted legal professional and enhance their experience. These relationships not only benefit Bell Legal Group, but they also strengthen your law firm. If you’re ready to explore partnership, co-counsel, and referral opportunities, contact us today.
