Aiding Unauthorized Practice.

 

March 10, 1983

 

It is improper for an attorney to render legal advice to others at the

request or direction of a corporation, not a professional corporation of

attorneys, when the corporation is comprised of individuals not licensed

to practice law in the United States and charges for legal services will

actually be made by the corporation--assuming that the corporation is

deemed to be conducting the unauthorized practice of law. [ DR:3-101, DR:

3-102]
