Abobe Acrobat Document  1/5/2006 - The Supreme Court of Louisiana
Chief Justice Pascal F. Calogero, Jr. announced today the Supreme Court’s adoption of amendments to the Rules of Professional Conduct concerning financial assistance to clients.1 The new rule changes place a number of parameters and restraints on lawyers who provide financial assistance to their clients, and thereby promote clarity, consistency and accountability. Chief among the beneficial changes to the rules is the placement of a monetary cap on the amount of interest charges that lawyers may pass on to their clients when lawyers are involved in procuring financial assistance for their clients.

5/19/2006 Amendment
Rule 1.8(e)(5)(ii), first sentence, Louisiana Rules of Professional Conduct, be and is hereby amended to read:
(ii) Financial assistance provided by a lawyer to a client may be made using a lawyer’s line of credit or loans obtained from financial institutions in which the lawyer has no ownership, control and/or security interest; provided, however, that this prohibition shall not apply to any federally insured bank, savings and loan association, savings bank, or credit union where the lawyer’s ownership, control and/or security interest is less than 15%.
