The New York City Bar is pushing to change the state’s rules governing attorney conflicts and discipline to better accommodate lawyers and law firms that practice both here and in other states and countries.

The city bar also proposed limiting the extent New York’s ethics rules are applied outside the state, something the bar group said has caused an “unnecessary restriction on client choice.”
