I am qualified to practice law in NY, but have recently taken an in house position in CA. For how long can I work without formally registering as In House Counsel in CA? It’s such a long process and I don’t want to go through it all over again, especially since I have already done it for New York once.

If you are resident in CA, you need to qualify. If you are resident elsewhere but advising CA-based clients, you should take the CA bar. You could jeopardize your CA law license if you engage in UPL. Don't do that!

It takes 4-9 mos to pass C&F after you've gathered all the ppwk, IME.

And you should qualify ASAP. There is no technical grave period.

Just do the application. It's really not that bad, definitely not as bad as taking the CA bar. It's merely a formality.

I hear it is supposed to be relatively simple process, but be sure to consult the regs to be sure as the cal bar could get mighty miffed if you get something wrong. Very limited license as well so be very careful of what you do and for whom.

Hello all. My company just went through an acquisition and the company did some restructuring of job titles. When they did this we were all advised the company would be making sure our jobs pay aligned with the national average.
My issue with this is my job title went from a Technical Support Supervisor to a Customer Success Team Lead. I have voiced my concerns with management but have been advised job titles are semantics. In my eyes this is a demotion, and will affect how much my job is worth.

My company historically paid base comp and bonus based on years out of law school. Level 1 is 1-9, and Level 2 is 10+. Diff if $50k+, easily. My team’s work isn’t distributed any differently based on seniority, and we’re all doing the same subject matter. We have a new GC changing it so bonus can be higher (but not lower) if you take on more work.
