     § 2924.  Rendering professional services.
        (a)  General rule.--A professional corporation may lawfully
     render professional services only through officers, employees or
     agents who are licensed persons. The corporation may employ
     persons not so licensed but those persons shall not render any
     professional services rendered or to be rendered by it.
        (b)  Supporting staff.--This section shall not be interpreted
     to preclude the use of clerks, secretaries, nurses,
     administrators, bookkeepers, technicians and other assistants or
     paraprofessionals who are not usually and ordinarily considered
     by law, custom and practice to be rendering the professional
     service or services for which the professional corporation was
     incorporated nor to preclude the use of any other person who
     performs all his employment under the direct supervision and
     control of a licensed person. A person shall not, under the
     guise of employment, render professional services unless duly
     licensed or admitted to practice as required by law.
        (c)  Charges.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a
     professional corporation may charge for the professional
     services of its officers, employees and agents, may collect
     those charges and may compensate those who render the
     professional services.
