For a whole host of reasons, lawyers who are not admitted to practice in New Mexico may wish to work on behalf of a New Mexico client in a specific matter. To do so, of course, the non-NM lawyer must seek pro hac vice admission and associate with a New Mexico licensed lawyer, often referred to as “local counsel.” But what are local counsel’s duties and to what extent is local counsel responsible for the conduct of their out-of-state colleague? This session will discuss the responsibilities and risks for New Mexico attorneys serving as local counsel, particularly in light of State Bar of New Mexico Ethics Advisory Opinion 2020-001.

Lunch will be provided for in-person attendees during the presentation.
