Rule LLLT RPC 5.6 - RESTRICTIONS ON RIGHT TO PRACTICE

An LLLT shall not participate in offering or making:

(a) a partnership, shareholders, operating, employment, or other similar type of agreement that restricts the rights of an LLLT or lawyer to practice after termination of the relationship, except an agreement concerning benefits upon retirement; or
(b) an agreement in which a restriction on the LLLT's right to practice is part of the settlement of a client controversy.

Wash. Admi. And. Prac. R. LLLT RPC 5.6

Comment

[1] This Rule was adapted from Lawyer RPC 5.6 with no substantive changes except to reflect that LLLTs and lawyers may practice in the same firm. It applies to LLLTs and to firms in which both LLLTs and lawyers are associated analogously.
