House Bill No. [insert bill number] introduces new provisions regarding attorney fees and the disclosure of an attorney's interest in a case.

This requirement applies to attorneys acting in their individual capacity as well as those representing a business entity.

Additionally, the bill establishes penalties for non-compliance, stating that attorneys who fail to adhere to these disclosure requirements may face sanctions from the court. Furthermore, the clerk of court is tasked with filing a complaint against any attorney who violates these provisions with the Louisiana Attorney Disciplinary Board. This legislation aims to enhance transparency and accountability in legal proceedings involving significant attorney fees.
