Unbundled Legal Services
New Options for Representation -- Unbundling of legal services
What is the scoop on New Hampshire 's new limited scope (unbundled) legal services rules? They present
a win-win situation for attorneys and the public alike by offering more options in the delivery of legal
services. These new court and professional conduct rules (found at
http://www.courts.state.nh.us/supreme/orders/20060321.pdf ) permit attorneys to handle part of a case,
such as drafting a motion, reviewing an agreement or attending one specific hearing, rather than the entire
matter. They give attorneys the opportunity to expand or focus a practice, attract new paying clients or
assist Pro Bono or other lower-income clients with discrete tasks. For the public, the unbundled rules allow
more consumer choice and offer more affordable options for legal services.
You can also watch an online NHBA-CLE, "The New Unbundling Rules (Limited Representation)," that will
help you learn how to offer limited representation services efficiently and ethically.
For opportunities to provide limited scope services, consider signing up with the Bar Association's Lawyer
Referral Service (contact Robin Brown at 603-224-6942). For Pro Bono participation opportunities, contact
Ginny Martin or Cindee Carter at 603-224-6942.
The state courts' limited appearance form is usable in each of the trial courts. Another critical tool is the
client consent form recommended in all cases involving litigation.
