anyone in connection
with a matter in which
the lawyer participated
personally and

such a person or as an
arbitrator, mediator or
other third-party

consent, confirmed in
writing.

of the fee therefrom;
and

is promptly given to
the parties and any
appropriate tribunal
to enable them to
ascertain compliance
