@kabirthapar,

You mean refer a case to another lawyer?

Lawyers, at least in the US, do it all the time, when they get a case they don't have the time or expertise for, or they realize there's a conflict of interest. The referring lawyer usually gets 1/4 - 1/3 of the fee.

It is a very, very common practice here.
