A. For executive branch agencies that hire attorneys under professional services contracts controlled by Chapter 16 of Title 39 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes (controlled by Chapter 17 of Title 39 commencing January 1, 2015), the Commissioner of Administration and the Division of Administration (DOA) expects to work with those agencies to hire and to retain attorneys in an efficient and cost conscious manner consistent with ethical obligations. Nothing contained herein is intended to restrict an agency or its contract counsel's exercise of professional judgment in rendering legal services. Contract counsel bears ultimate responsibility for all work performed pursuant to the contract and/or billed to the file.
