Rule LLLT RPC 5.7 - RESPONSIBILITIES REGARDING LAW-RELATED SERVICES(a) An LLLT shall be subject to the LLLT RPC with respect to the provision of law-related services, as defined in paragraph (b), if the law-related services are provided:(1) by the LLLT in circumstances that are not distinct from the LLLT's provision of legal services to clients; or(2) in other circumstances by an entity controlled by the LLLT individually or with others if the LLLT fails to take reasonable measures to assure that a person obtaining the law-related services knows that the services are not legal services and that the protections of the client-LLLT relationship do not exist.(b) The term "law-related services" denotes services that might reasonably be performed in conjunction with and in substance are related to the provision of legal services, and that are not prohibited as unauthorized practice of law when provided by anyone except an LLLT or a lawyer.Wash.

Comment
[1] This Rule was adapted from Lawyer RPC 5.7 with no substantive changes except to change the reference to a "non lawyer" (in Lawyer RPC 5.7(b)) to "anyone except an LLLT or a lawyer" (in Rule 5.7(b)) to avoid confusion. It applies to LLLTs analogously.
