You work for a large and established law firm that provides advice and representation

to all sizes of businesses. Your friend, an attorney in a solo practice, wants to hire you.

He wants to go into partnership with another lawyer, but he heard that good fences

make good neighbors. He also heard that if you represent yourself, you have a fool for

a client.

A. Your friend wants to know what the effect of not having a partnership agreement will have on the division of profits?

B. They want to name the business Avatar Legal Services and neither of them is named "Avatar." Is there anything they need to do to be "legal?"

C. If their partnership breaks up, what statute would determine the process in the absence of an agreement?

D. What is the statute of limitations for a negligence suit against a lawyer?

E. When does the statute of limitations start accruing against a lawyer?

F. If your friend fails to pay his attorney license fee, what will happen?

G. Your friend would like to register a trade name "Avatar Legal Services." What is the fee for filing for a state registration of a trade name?

H. If there is a jury instruction in your jurisdiction on the elements of a cause of action for professional negligence against a lawyer, what is the number and title of the instruction and the elements?

I. Shepardize the main case giving the elements of the cause of action in the question above. Is it still "good" law? If there are little letters next to the citations, what do they mean?
