This article considers a recent opinion from the New York City Bar Association Committee on Professional and Judicial Ethics Opinion 2023-1 (the Opinion) on the topic of attorneys departing from a law firm.” This is a subject we have frequently discussed in this column in the past, albeit not recently, and this opinion is a useful summary of the guiding principles involved when lawyers move between law firms.

Because of the importance and breadth of the subject matter, we will commence our discussion of the opinion in the present column, and conclude our review in our January 2024 column.
