Does anyone know whether there’s a red tape type reason an associate couldn’t transition to fully remote in another state? I work in New York office but team based in Charlotte office so already technically remote but considering a move to a state where we don’t have an office. Partner wouldn’t care so wondering if there’s potential admin/tax issues.

There are admin/tax issues- your firm would have to set up a theoretical office (even if just you working from your home) in your new state and follow its rules.

You should run all these questions past your firm's conflicts/ethics counsel instead of a bunch of strangers on the internet.

I believe there are also malpractice insurance issues if your firm doesn’t already practice in the state.

Also I’m a transactional lawyer not a litigator so don’t need to be in court.

I believe there are potentially some issues about practicing in a state if you are not licensed there.

Definitely tax issues. Possibly others. Will depend on the target state's definition of practicing law in that state, whether from your home or elsewhere.

Most likely because of the ABA rule, you need to be licensed to the state to practice law. For tax, it’s not that complicated: you will be taxed where you reside, unless your employer is in one of the few convenience of employer rule states, then you will get double taxed by both states.

The main reason is not your tax situation--it's the firm's. Partners don't want have to file in a new state.

So what if I join a firm that has offices in New York and Texas…I move to Texas but stay admitted in New York. Work remotely/hybrid with whatever team/office needs me (similar to situation now). Still need to get admitted in Texas or hypothetically okay?
