Bruce Ballard was a new lawyer fresh out of law school. He put an ad in a law journal seeking an opportunity with an experienced attorney so he could gain some trial court experience. Dawn Nagy responded to Bruce's ad. Bruce referred three cases to Nagy's office, drafted some documents, and conducted some depositions in Nagy's cases. Ballard received some payments from Nagy but 5 years later, after the payments stopped, Ballard sued Nagy, alleging Nagy had proposed they work as partners in a law practice and share equally in the profits from the cases they worked on together. Ballard claimed they had an oral partnership agreement. Nagy alleged that since there was no evidence they shared earnings equally, that Ballard shared in law firm losses or expenses or that Ballard contributed capital, there was no evidence of a partnership. What should the court hold?
