NRS 38.515
Applicability of disqualification of collaborative lawyer or lawyer in associated law firm with respect to low-income parties.

1.

The disqualification of a collaborative lawyer under subsection 1 of NRS 38.510 applies to a collaborative lawyer representing a party with or without fee.

2.

After a collaborative law process concludes, another lawyer in a law firm with which a collaborative lawyer who is disqualified under subsection 1 of NRS 38.510 is associated may represent a party without fee in the collaborative matter or a matter related to the collaborative matter if:

(a)

The party has an annual income that qualifies the party for free legal representation under the criteria established by the law firm for free legal representation;

(b)

The collaborative law participation agreement so provides; and

(c)

The collaborative lawyer is isolated from any participation in the collaborative matter or a matter related to the collaborative matter through procedures within the law firm which are reasonably calculated to isolate the collaborative lawyer from such participation.
