The Model Rule of Professional Conduct 5.5 addresses the permissible boundaries of the multijurisdictional practice of law, but the guidance only takes the attorney so far. How do the courts define 'Holding Yourself Out?' And what is considered 'Systemic and Continuous Presence?'

As many attorneys have been working from home for extended time, what happens when 'home' becomes somewhere out of state?
Join the experts as we look at these and other issues a multijurisdictional practice brings!
