What does that even mean? All lawyers have support staff where the lawyers “share” their billable votes with non lawyers



I'm pretty sure no jurisdiction allows lawyers to share their billable hours with their support staff. You have to pay them either hourly or salary, not linked to how many hours you're billing. You can't give them a law firm stock package or say they get a 10% commission on all billed revenue or something. At best, some jurisdictions allow law firms to give an annual bonus if the firm does well.
