Is it permissible for a Pennsylvania lawyer to represent people in Delaware if the lawyer has local counsel or an office with a Delaware lawyer in it?
Any Pennsylvania lawyer who wants to provide legal advice in Delaware, even with local counsel or an office that has a Delaware lawyer as a paid employee, should be very cautious. Unless a Pennsylvania lawyer is moved in pro hac vice or sits for the bar exam and passes it, there is an excellent chance a lawyer practicing down there with some regularity, even though there are no court appearances, will receive professional discipline.
