Does a lawyer have the right to bring in another lawyer to handle a case without the clients permission?
Most representation agreements state that the client is employing the law firm, rather than a particular lawyer in that firm, and so any lawyer in the firm may be handling aspects of your case without you actually being aware of the fact. Bringing an outside lawyer into the case would violate attorney/client confidentiality and would not be allowed unless the client agreed to it.
