It has been a common practice for lawyers to act as local counsel in lawsuits. Local counsel are typically relied on by out-of-state attorneys when it comes to complying with local rules, reviewing pleadings, and moving for the pro hac vice admission of lead counsel. While acting as local counsel can be beneficial to clients and counsel alike, if not properly guided, various ethical issues may arise.

Heredia (Holland & Knight LLP) will provide an informative discussion of the key ethical considerations which lawyers should keep in mind when acting as local counsel.
