The hearing committee also found, and the board accepted, that the respondent violated Mass. R. Prof. C. 1.5 (b) (1), as appearing in 463 Mass. 1302 (2012), which requires that, as is relevant here, the scope of representation and the fee structure be communicated to a client in writing, because he never provided the daughter with a written agreement in connection with the adversary proceeding.  The respondent does not contest the lack of written agreement but rather argues that no harm was done.  He does not elaborate, and this is, in any event, beside the point.  The rules of professional conduct required a written agreement in the circumstances, and the respondent failed to secure one.
