Overture Law is a web-based marketplace for attorney-to-attorney legal referrals. It is intended for attorneys licensed and in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction. Members can post referrals and choose up to three attorneys to receive each one; email alerts can flag referrals matching an attorney’s practice area and state. Overture says its network connects members with over 6,000 pre-vetted attorneys, but it does not verify, endorse, or guarantee referrals, attorneys, or matters, and makes no promise of engagement or compensation. Attorneys can upload an engagement agreement, to which Overture says it attaches a client disclosure addendum for fee sharing. Billing tools split fees and deposit each share into attorneys’ bank accounts after client payment. Listed splits are 15/85 for hourly, flat-fee, or hybrid matters, 35/65 for personal injury contingency, and 25/75 for other contingency matters. The site also provides state-specific referral-fee rules for all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Sharing referrals and fee splits is free; receiving-referral membership is paid, with price on request. Users should not send confidential matter information through the platform.
