Description:
In most cases, lawyers working remotely do not commit the unauthorized practice of law in states where they are not members of the bar as long as you follow a few basic rules. But the situation gets much more complicated if you begin providing legal advice to clients in the remote working state. In the latest program in this popular series, Zach McGee gives you the guidance you need to continuing working remotely without running the risk of engaging in the unauthorized practice of law and suffering the reputational, financial, legal and ethical consequences that would flow from such a determination.
