QUESTION
If I am licensed in only NY as an attorney, can I do legal work for my NJ-based company?
Asked on Oct 25th, 2024 on General Practice - New York
More details to this question:
I work fully remote from my apartment in Brooklyn. My company I work for is a NJ based company. They recently "promoted" me from Chief Compliance Officer to General Counsel. I am not a licensed attorney in NJ, but as long as I do all of my legal work from my NY-based apartment, am I allowed to do the legal work on behalf of my NJ-based company?

Your location and the client's location are irrelevant. You can practice New York law but not New Jersey law.
