The essential idea is that a law practice can involve non-lawyer participation only in a way that preserves the lawyer’s control, keeps clients informed, and avoids a perpetual arrangement. The true statement reflects those limits: non-lawyers cannot be in an exclusive partnership, clients must be informed about the non-lawyer involvement, and the arrangement cannot run for an indefinite duration. Limiting exclusivity prevents non-lawyers from gaining control over the practice, disclosure to clients ensures transparency and informed consent, and requiring a definite duration allows for ongoing review and accountability, keeping the professional responsibilities of the lawyers central to the practice.
