In-house counsel groups and nearly 40 chief legal officers from corporate law departments are endorsing a proposed rule that would allow in-house counsel who are not licensed in New York to represent pro bono clients.
Under the proposed rule, registered in-house counsel could appear before any tribunal or court in the state, without the need to seek pro hac vice admission, associate with a legal services provider or work under the supervision of a New York-licensed attorney. They would remain prohibited from making appearances other than in pro bono matters.
