The options as I see them are for the CL lawyer to
agree with the Plaintiff and the litigation lawyer that the CL lawyer
would receive quantum meruit for the work the CL lawyer has done (but
if all that work is considered confidential and inadmissible, how
does the CL lawyer show what work s/he has done and how the CL lawyer
contributed?)
I have pricked in the area of personal injury both as a Plaintiff's lawyer
and also as insurance defense.
I don't see why you could not file a lien on the final recovery -- bearing in
mind that all too often (in your garden variety case) only poor cases go to
trial!-- and get paid that way. it could be an agreed amount or what you have
billed. (You'd have to learn to do billing!)
my 2 cents worth...
