New Jersey. The state over the bridge. The state where many lawyers in New York and Pennsylvania are licensed to practice law. The state that has traditionally been perceived as a bit difficult for lawyers not based in New Jersey to set up offices and/or practice. Remember the bona fide office rule, for example.
Well, times are changing for lawyers licensed in New Jersey who do not have in-state offices. In addition, for lawyers not licensed in New Jersey who may need to provide some legal advice, my advice is "be very careful." This article will address two concepts that continue to affect lawyers who want to practice in New Jersey, focusing on the bona fide office rule and multi-jurisdictional practice.
