History
Source: Entire appendix adopted April 13, 2023, effective July 1, 2023 (Rule Change 2023(08)). COMMENT [1] An LLP is authorized to practice law only to the extent permitted by C.R.C.P. 207.1. An LLP also has an independent ethical obliga- tion to provide competent representation to a client as to matters within an LLP’s scope of authority to practice. In determining whether an LLP employs the requisite knowledge and skill in a particular matter, relevant factors include the relative complexity and specialized nature of the matter, the LLP’s general experience, the LLP’s training and experience, and the prepara- tion and study the LLP is able to give the matter.
