Hope someone can answer this for me- I’m licensed in a state I don’t live in (because I was in private practice when I lived there) and I’m joining a company in house that is fully remote. What should I do as far as being licensed?

Some states have registration for in-house counsel if you are registered somewhere else.

So either do that, if possible, or register in the state where you live.

DC as well, with some nuances.

The short answer is to check your local rules.

I’m in this situation. The state I live in doesn’t require me the be licensed as in-house counsel (but many other states would). I had ti reach out to the bar to confirm this was the case based on the rules as there is no rule clearly on point. The state my company is in doesn’t require me to be licensed as a non-resident. You need to review the relevant bar rules.

Thanks!

Doesn’t matter. You don’t have to be licensed in that state

You sure about that?

You typically need to be licensed in the state you reside/practice in.

Agreed. Hence my use of “almost always.” Need to check the local rules.
